The unique shape of a bulb flat distributes steel to maximise resistance to buckling.
Flat bulb steel weight.
To order bulb flat call or email us today.
This results in a more efficient strength to weight ratio compared with other stiffeners such as flat bars or structural angles.
Key advantages include an excellent strength to weight ratio delivering buckling resistance at a lower weight than with flat bars or angles.
The compact shape of a bulb flat offers easy access for welding and painting.

Hot rolled flat plate can use in situations where precise shapes and tolerances are not required.
Flat plate is available in aluminum stainless steel hot rolled and more.
Paint steel introduction to steel bulb flats bulb flats are the most cost effective efficient and corrosion resistant solution for plate stiffening requirements.

The asymmetric bulb flat shape.
Flat plates also known as rectangular bars are a long and rectangular shaped metal bars are used in a wide range of structural and architectural applications.
They deliver buckling resistance at a lower weight than flat bars or angles and thanks to their rounded edges there is no need for edge grinding before painting saving time and money.
