Tips Before Starting Metal Structure Works

1

Precise load calculation

Before assembling any load-bearing structure (especially a mezzanine, staircase, or roof truss), an engineering calculation is essential. The thickness and size of the metal profile must precisely match the weight and structural load it will be required to carry.

2

Anti-corrosion treatment

Rust is the ultimate enemy of metal. After welding works are completed, all seams and surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned, coated with a specialized anti-corrosion primer, and only then painted with high-quality exterior paint.

3

Welding quality

The stability of the structure depends entirely on the professionalism of the welder. Demand continuous, uniform, and deep penetration weld seams, completely free of slag and porosity. For critical structural joints, use argon (TIG) or semi-automatic (MIG/MAG) welding.

4

Anchoring and foundation

Securing the metal structure to the ground or existing concrete must be done using top-quality chemical or mechanical anchors. For heavy structures (e.g., canopies, hangars), small concrete foundations with embedded metal plates must be poured in advance.

5

Metal grade and certificate

Purchase only standardized and certified metal profiles (pipes, I-beams, U-channels) for the works. Secondary or low-quality metal may deform over time or fail to withstand seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Frequently Asked Questions - Metal Structures

Standard black metal requires periodic painting and maintenance to protect it from rust. Galvanized metal, however, is factory-coated with a protective layer of zinc, making it absolutely rust-proof for decades without any additional painting (ideal for outdoor canopies and trusses).

A mezzanine is an additional half-floor (a raised platform) constructed within an interior space using a metal structure. It is recommended for high-ceilinged spaces (minimum ceiling height of 4–4.5 meters) so that a comfortable living height remains both on top of the mezzanine and beneath it.

Building with metal structures is significantly faster, and the framework is lightweight (which reduces the load on the foundation). It features high seismic resistance and allows for the creation of vast open spaces without intermediate columns, making it ideal for hangars and showrooms.
