Stainless steel rectangular tubes are hollow profiles with flat sides and right-angle corners, designed for strength, stability, and clean architectural appearance. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel grades such as 304, 304L, 316, and 316L, they are widely used in construction, industrial fabrication, architectural framing, furniture, and transportation systems.
These tubes are primarily produced as welded (ERW or TIG) sections in accordance with ASTM A554, ASTM A312, and EN 10296-2 standards. The production process involves cold-forming stainless steel strip into rectangular shape, welding the longitudinal seam, and then sizing and straightening the profile to meet strict dimensional tolerances. The result is a smooth, uniform tube suitable for both visible and structural applications.
Dimensional availability typically ranges from 10 × 20 mm up to 200 × 100 mm, with wall thicknesses from 0.8 mm to 8 mm, supplied in 6-meter lengths or cut to size. The rectangular geometry provides greater directional strength compared to round tubing, making it ideal for frameworks, columns, and load-bearing assemblies.
Surface finish options allow the product to adapt to different requirements:
All polished tubes are protected with film or paper wrapping to preserve the surface during transport and handling.
Material grade selection depends on environment and use. Grade 304 / 304L is the standard choice for general and indoor applications, offering good corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication. Grade 316 / 316L, containing molybdenum, performs better in marine, chemical, or outdoor conditions with exposure to chlorides or moisture. The low-carbon “L” variants are recommended when extensive welding is required.
Stainless rectangular tubing can be easily fabricated — it can be cut, bent, or welded using standard stainless procedures without loss of performance. The flat surfaces and sharp corners make it particularly suitable for frames, support structures, machine guards, and architectural façades where alignment and visual uniformity are important.
Common applications include:
Products are supplied according to recognized international standards (ASTM A554 / EN 10296-2), ensuring consistent strength, weld integrity, and surface finish. Certificates and traceability can be provided where required.
In summary, stainless steel rectangular tubes offer a combination of rigidity, corrosion resistance, and precise geometry. Their flat-sided profile provides strong load-bearing performance while maintaining a refined, professional appearance. Available in multiple grades, finishes, and sizes, stainless rectangular tubing remains a fundamental material for architectural, industrial, and fabrication projects throughout Canada and globally.
Stainless steel profiles with corrosion-resistant properties are steel models that have existed for over 100 years, produced as a result of various tests and research. They are widely used across many sectors, especially in the construction industry, due to their extremely strong structure in terms of durability. Known for their resistance to corrosion, stainless profiles are also suitable for long-term use due to their bright appearance and easy-to-clean feature.
Corrosion, defined as metal decay, technically occurs when metal reacts with oxygen. In such cases, the metal loses its durability under challenging conditions and deteriorates. Due to problems such as decay or wear in metals, metals with high resistance to corrosion should be used in your projects. This allows stainless steel to be used across various fields.
Due to its corrosion-resistant structure, stainless U-profile and stainless profile types are frequently preferred in many industries, and stainless box profiles can also be easily acquired.
Stainless Steel Profiles
Stainless steel profiles, which are widely used in Turkey and compatible with many sectors, are produced in square or rectangular cuts. These types of cuts offer many advantages. Primarily, they are widely used for assembly and have the advantage of being aesthetically appealing, making stainless steel profiles a preferred choice for every user.
In terms of structure and shape, steel profiles have specific features that are classified under different terminologies. They come in H-shaped, U-shaped, or I-shaped forms. In this way, the use of steel profiles is generally categorized based on cut types across various fields. Therefore, the range of applications varies widely according to the shape of the stainless steel profiles.
To meet the quality standards in Europe, S235/S275 quality is expected in steel profiles commonly used in Turkey. Steel profiles preferred for these features have a solid and widespread usage thanks to their well-defined structural characteristics. Additionally, stainless steel profiles vary entirely according to their production shapes, which can also change depending on the intended project areas. These shapes are identified directly with letters: C, U, Z, and sigma profiles.
Profiles produced in various shapes for different projects are entirely associated with their corresponding shapes. At the same time, the reason for this selection is the ease of nesting or disassembling, making them practical to use. These features bring out the best use of profiles.
Advantages of Stainless Profiles
Stainless profiles are frequently used today, with their corrosion-resistant property considered among their primary advantages. The inclusion of a steel and chromium alloy makes these materials suitable for use in various industries. Stainless profiles are highly valuable in the construction sector in every aspect. One of the reasons for choosing stainless profiles is their resistance to corrosion and oxidation.
With the production of stainless profiles with high-quality characteristics, these materials have also started to be preferred in the decoration sector. Stainless profiles suitable for a wide range of applications are generally adaptable for use across nearly all sectors. Some of the industries where stainless profiles are most commonly used are:
The main advantages of stainless profiles can be listed as follows:
One of the most important reasons for their suitability for various industries is their inherent characteristics, while the advantages they create also make them a preferred choice.
Technical Specifications of Stainless Profiles
Resistant to adverse conditions and creating a strong yet thin surface, stainless steel is ideal for decoration in places where a glossy appearance is desired. Known for its improved corrosion resistance, stainless profiles are used in many sectors due to their durable structure.
Usage Areas of Stainless Profiles
With its durability, the usage of stainless profiles extends across various fields today. Stainless profiles are used in many architectural and decorative areas, particularly in the construction sector. In the furniture sector, stainless profiles are also used directly for designing tables and chairs in restaurants or creating convenient products like kitchen counters.
In the automotive and industrial fields, stainless profiles are preferred due to their high resistance, especially in the automotive sector. Likewise, stainless profiles are directly used in heavy industry, such as shipbuilding.
Stainless profiles are used in many areas for decorative purposes. In the textile industry, they are widely used for making mannequins or hangers, as they are stainless and long-lasting.
Generally, stainless profiles are easily created by shaping steel. Accordingly, stainless profiles, frequently preferred in the decoration sector, also attract significant attention in the machinery sector. They are preferred in various areas such as the textile industry, retail, decoration activities, and more.
Dimensions of Stainless Profiles
Stainless profiles come in various sizes. Production is carried out in different sizes according to the sector and project. Profiles are produced in dimensions ranging from 20x10 mm to 150x150 mm. You can contact us according to your requests and review the stainless profile dimensions on our page to assess them as desired.
Stainless Metal Profile Sizes
There is a wide range of information on stainless metal profile sizes, as there are no fixed dimensions. Customers can choose profiles of the required dimensions to carry out their processes. Examining the sizes of stainless metal profiles, we see square profiles ranging from 10x10 mm to 150x150 mm and rectangular profiles from 20x10 mm to 120x80 mm.
