Materiaal Eigenschappen

A stainless steel frame is an internal stainless steel support structure that can withstand high mechanical stress and environmental influences.

A stainless steel frame is made up of stainless steel profiles or tubes and forms the load-bearing skeleton of a structure. The presence of chromium in the alloy creates a passive protective layer that makes the material resistant to corrosion, even in humid or aggressive environments.

As an internal skeleton, a stainless steel frame is used when maximum stability and structural integrity are required, for example under heavy loads or long-term outdoor applications. Compared to aluminum, stainless steel offers higher stiffness and load-bearing capacity, resulting in a more robust construction.

Although the material is heavier and more expensive, it compensates for this through a long life, minimal maintenance requirements and high reliability. The frame can be combined with various finishing materials and is usually welded or assembled to measure.
