Steel, which is sold in rolls, has a different thickness, so the weight of one roll can also vary. Sheet steel happens with a polymer coating, and without it. It has several shades, very often during special processing polymers having various characteristics are very often used. The choice of polymers depends on what properties will be present in the product.
What is ? This is a strip of cold rolled steel that is coated with zinc. In order for the product to be of high quality, you need to use good metal products of certain brands. The minimum thickness of steel reaches 0.3 millimeters, the maximum - 2.5. The width of one strip can be 1000 millimeters, as well as 1500.
Steel coils are used for the following:
- for subsequent painting;
- for general use;
- to conduct the profiling procedure;
- stamping.
Galvanized steel can be dissolved using special equipment. The advantage of rolls is that this material is compact and very easy to transport. Galvanized roll is not inferior to sheet metal in its performance. The steel in it is equally durable and resistant to corrosion.
Where is galvanized steel used? Almost everywhere, in many areas of production. It is used in the production of components necessary for roofing, gutter and chimney systems, units that are operated in conditions of high humidity, in an aggressive environment.
Galvanized roll is used as raw material in the manufacture of profiles for the installation of drywall, other materials necessary for decoration. Thanks to the spread of new technologies used in finishing works, rolled galvanized materials have become popular at the sites where construction is carried out.
Several advantages of using galvanized rolls:
- Thanks to the unique technology, galvanized steel has anti-corrosion properties. The roll has a passivating layer; it protects the steel from the appearance of rust;
- galvanized metal can be used for a long time, since galvanizing helps to preserve all the properties that provide protection for several years;
- galvanized steel, which is located in the roll, allows you to do volumetric structures;
- the metal is stable in temperature extremes, it does not change its properties;
- galvanized materials have an affordable and low price, and this reduces the cost of construction work. They also minimize the amount of waste received during the production process;
- low thermal conductivity of the material makes it attractive for the production of roofing materials and sandwich panels.
