Lipped Channels & Where To Find Them
Lipped channels are known for their unique shape and mechanical properties. They are used in various applications to enhance structural integrity and functionality.
Key Applications of Lipped Channels:
Roof Structures: Lipped channels support the roof trusses, providing a stable frame to attach roof sheets.
Floor Joists: Lipped channels are used as joists (horizontal structural members that span an open space, often between beams) in floor systems, offering a sturdy support structure for floors.
Wall Framing: Lipped channels are effective in wall framing, especially in light steel construction. They provide a lightweight yet strong framework that supports the building’s cladding and interior finishes.
Racking and Shelving: Due to their durability and load-bearing capacity, lipped channels are often employed in making racking and shelving units in warehouses, retail stores, and industrial settings.
Architectural Applications: Architects and designers frequently use lipped channels as aesthetic and functional design elements as they can be integrated into interior elements to create visually appealing, sturdy features.
Bridge Construction: Lipped channels contribute to the construction of bridges by forming part of the bridge deck structure or being used in guard rails and other supportive frameworks. Their strength and flexibility under a load are critical for the safety of bridges.
Equipment Frames and Supports: In the industrial sector, lipped channels are used to construct frames and supports for machinery and equipment. Their robust nature ensures they can support heavy machinery without bending or breaking.
Utility and Service Ducts: These channels provide protection and support for electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems, facilitating easy maintenance and access.
