Cold-formed steel (CFS) profiles are structural shapes made by bending thin steel sheets at room temperature, without the need for heating (as opposed to hot-rolled steel). The process typically involves feeding flat steel sheets into a series of rollers or presses, which gradually shape the steel into various profiles. This method allows for lightweight yet strong and versatile profiles, commonly used in construction, especially in framing, roofing, and photovoltaic mounting structures.

Benefits

• Lightweight and High Strength: Ideal for structures where weight savings are needed.
• Precision and Customizability: Allows for complex shapes and exact dimensions.
• Corrosion Resistance: Often coated with galvanization or other treatments to prevent rust.
