Cold-formed profiles are steel profiles that are formed at room temperature. Rolling steel profiles into the desired shape is done in several steps. Cold-formed profiles are known for their precise dimensions and constant thickness of the material. We are happy to help you configure your profiles. You can contact us for cold-formed U-profiles and cold-formed angle profiles, but also for very complex profiles, custom made for your project. Coil feeder Coil feeder The main differences between hot-formed and cold-formed profiles Hot-formed and cold-formed profiles are both valuable options in the construction industry, but they differ in important ways. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of the building project, such as desired shape complexity, strength and cost considerations. Temperature range When hot forming profiles, the steel is heated to high temperatures, usually above 1,000 degrees Celsius, making the material easier to deform. This allows steel profiles to be created with greater ductility and in more complex shapes. Formability Cold-formed profiles are formed at room temperature, without heating the steel. Although this process offers less flexibility in creating complex shapes, it has its own advantages. Cold-formed profiles are generally characterised by a higher degree of accuracy and dimensional consistency, resulting in better fit and assembly on site. Strength Cold-formed steel generally has higher strength than hot-formed steel. This makes cold-formed profiles suitable for applications where high loads and strength are required. Cost difference
