Bulb flats are the most cost-effective, efficient and corrosion-resistant solution for plate stiffening. 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.
We help customers to adhere to project schedules thanks to our regular rolling programme for all bulb flat products. We offer a convenient, local service through our international network of sales offices.
