Metal channels are used as a replacement for wood in construction, they are used to support ceilings, roofs, and heavy structures in a building. Metal channels are versatile structures that can be placed vertically or horizontally. Metal channels are of many types: C channel, J channel, Z channel and Hat channel. UAE is quite famous for designing unique infrastructure and not only do they have aesthetic designs, but they are built to last long in the unforgiving weather conditions of the UAE. Constant sandstorms and huge temperature differences test the durability of infrastructures in the UAE.
Why choose the C channel?
C channels stand out the most among other structures because their versatility compliments the unique design and being lightweight they are very cost-effective. The lightweight C channels come with a great weight-to-strength ratio. The versatility factor of C channels is a huge advantage as they are easy to cut and weld, in some scenarios, you can use C channels without welding. Hence they provide cost reduction in the construction without compromising the durability of the structure.
Metal n Machine is well known for the quality of metal structures used in construction. We provide C channels in the UAE, and with us, you don’t have to work about the quality as we are dedicated to providing the best quality material for building infrastructures that look beautiful on the outside and are safe on the inside.
A Solution against Corrosion
Corrosion can significantly damage the infrastructure making it dangerous for the people inside the building as well as outside the building causing damage to life and economy. There are many reasons behind corrosion like sand, humidity and huge temperature differences. The UAE has loose sand that causes huge sandstorms frequently and with large water bodies nearby humidity is also high, these are the major obstacles that are faced by the infrastructure of the UAE.
This is why C channels are popular in construction, they are made of stainless galvanised steel that protects them from the excessive moisture in the atmosphere. When c channels are made an extra coating of a protective layer is used to further protect it from the sandstorms.
C channel in UAE is an effective solution against the harsh climate challenges because not only do they protect the structure, but the beauty and aesthetics of the infrastructure are not compromised.
How are C channels made?
C channels are generally made from Steel, Stainless steel, Aluminum and Brass, with all of them having different uses in the construction. For example, brass c channels are used in electrical equipment. The steps involved in making C channels are:
-
Choosing the metal: The first step is to choose the type of metal for construction, it depends on the type of structure and the purpose of the structure. Generally, the materials used in construction are steel and aluminium.
-
Melting and Rolling: The chosen metal then is loaded and melted first so that it can be bent into the required shape. Molten metal is then rolled, turning into a long sheet of uniform width.
-
Give it a C shape: After that, the rolled metal sheet is bent into a c shape using heavy machinery to give it the signature look. In this step, the metal is finally turned into a c-channel structure.
-
Coating and Cutting: This is the final and most important step, the C channel in UAE is made resistant to corrosion and temperature differences by applying either galvanization or another protective coat. Then the channel is cut and trimmed to the desired length.
Types and Multiple Uses of C Channel Structure
C channels due to their versatility are used for multiple purposes, like making vehicle frames, supporting heavy structures, supporting ceilings and cable management in buildings and bridges. C channels are also helpful in mounting solar panels due to their design and easy installation.
C channels can be categorised into different types:
-
Steel C channel
-
Among the most commonly used types of C channels, with extra protective layers, they prove to be long-lasting and safe.
-
Aluminium C channel
-
Standard C channel
-
Sloped flange
-
Strut C channel
-
These C channels are mainly used for supporting wiring systems, electrical cables and pipes.
Conclusion
Construction in the UAE demands materials that can withstand the weight of tall buildings while not compromising with the aesthetics. UAE is famous for its beautiful and out-of-the-world-looking infrastructure, hence every new construction needs to match the beauty of the previous ones without compromising the safety of people inside and around the construction.
C channels or C beams are among the most used design structures that provide quality work with durability. Their versatile nature helps in creating designs that are not possible with other structures. Metal n Machine, a trusted name in construction, provides C channel in UAE for construction, our dedication towards the quality of the material is among the best, and our material quality matches the global standards.
