Structural profiles
We offer different types of structural profiles, all with parallel flanges and grouped into three types: I-profilesalso called "double T", symmetrical about the main and secondary axes and with a height to width ratio of approximately 2:1. H-profilesThey are symmetrical, but with an approximate ratio of 1:1 between height and width, however, above a certain height the width does not vary. U-profilessymmetrical about their principal axis.

TYPOLOGY
Types of structural profiles
We offer different types of structural profiles, all with parallel flanges and grouped into three types: I-profilesalso called "double T", symmetrical about the main and secondary axes and with a height to width ratio of approximately 2:1. H-profilesThey are symmetrical, but with an approximate ratio of 1:1 between height and width, however, above a certain height the width does not vary. U-profilessymmetrical about their principal axis.
IPE
The IPE profile is a structural steel profile I-shaped, with the outer and inner flange faces completely perpendicular to the web of the beam. Its design with straight edges facilitates screwing and the creation of more efficient joints in metal structures. Thanks to its optimised weight, the IPE metal profile is widely used in construction, load-bearing and light industrial structures.
IPN
The IPN profile is a iron "I" profilewith a geometry in which only the outer face of the wing is perpendicular to the web, while the inner face has a slight slope. It is characterised by its rounded edgesThis improves its performance against mechanical stresses and vibrations. Its robustness makes it ideal for high-strength constructions, main beams and structural reinforcement.
UPN
The UPN profilealso known as U-shaped steel channelIt has an outer face perpendicular to the web and inner faces with a slight slope. Its design allows for a excellent load distributionand is therefore used in metal structures, reinforcing frames, car bodies and mechanical applications. It is also used in the manufacture of structural aluminium profiles for sectors where lightness and corrosion resistance are required.
HEB
The HEB profile is a structural "H" profile with broad wings and parallel facesThis gives it a high load-bearing capacity and stability. Its rounded web and wing joints reduce stress points, improving its resistance to bending. It is used in large-scale infrastructures, bridges, pillars and industrial buildingsThe new system provides a solid basis for high-performance constructions.
HEA
The HEA profile is similar to the HEB, but with thinner wings, which makes it lighter without sacrificing its structural capacity. Its design makes it an excellent choice for large structures where weight reduction is sought without loss of strength. It is used in building frames, structural supports and architectural applications where stability with lower dead load is required.
HEM
The HEM profile is the most robust version of the "H" profiles, with increased thicknesses in both the wings and the corewhich gives it superior resistance to heavy loads and dynamic stresses. It is preferred for demanding engineering projects, construction of skyscrapers, long-span bridges and structural supports in industrial plants.
