Not all steel is created equal. Choosing the right type of steel can significantly impact the safety, durability, and cost-efficiency of your project. Whether you’re working on a residential building, a commercial structure, or a custom fabrication, understanding your options is key to building right.
📏 Understand Your Project Requirements
Start by identifying the scope of your project — its size, purpose, and structural load. For example, a high-rise building may require stronger, load-bearing steel like TMT bars, while lighter structures such as furniture frames or gates may only need hollow sections or angle bars.
🏗️ Match the Steel Type to the Application
Different steel shapes serve different functions:
- TMT Bars: Best for heavy-duty concrete reinforcement.
- Angles & Z-Angles: Ideal for framing, brackets, and corner support.
- Flat Bars: Used in fabrication, repairs, and general construction.
- Round Bars: Common in machine parts and general reinforcement.
- Hollow Sections: Great for aesthetic frames and lightweight structures.
Choose steel that fits your fabrication
