Rectangular tube




Rectangular pipes are true all-rounders! The rectangular cross-section gives steel pipes static and structural properties that make them useful for a wide range of applications. Compared to open profiles, rectangular tubes have a significantly higher bending stiffness and can therefore withstand greater bending stress.

With rectangular tubes made of steel - as with square tubes made of steel - flat welding, screw connections and angle connections are possible without any problems. This makes demanding constructions relatively easy to realise. In addition, the hollow spaces of the rectangular tubes can be used by designers to accommodate cables or to improve the load-bearing capacity.

Thanks to the rectangular tubes, costs can also be saved. In addition, the low dead weight of the components has a positive effect on transport and assembly costs. Savings can also be made in terms of coating materials, as these only need to be applied to the outer surface. Rectangular steel tubes are also aesthetically pleasing. This is why they are often used as design elements.

Use of rectangular tubes


Rectangular tubes are used in many commercial sectors, as well as in the garden, in the house and in the home. The rectangular hollow steel profile is very stable due to its geometry and is therefore suitable as a modern and universally applicable construction element for numerous professional, as well as hobby applications, both outdoors and indoors.

Here are some examples:

  • Frames and exhibition stands
  • Frame construction for tables, shelves, benches or other furniture
  • Balcony railings, railings for terraces or stairs
  • Plant & mechanical engineering
