Metal profiles


Metal Profiles for Construction

Structural metal profile

We manufacture a variety of metal profiles, specializing in the production of Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF). Using high-precision cutting and bending equipment allows us to produce both standard and custom structural profiles.

Our production is focused on elements with the following key parameters:

  • Maximum metal thickness: up to 4 mm
  • Maximum profile length: up to 3000 mm

We produce two main product categories:

  • Structural (load-bearing) profiles: Elements designed to bear calculated loads (frames, trusses, purlins). They are subject to mandatory control and certification according to EN 1090.
  • Non-structural profiles: Architectural, cladding, and auxiliary elements.

Standard and Custom Profiles

We produce a wide range of standard profiles most in-demand in construction, and we also manufacture complex custom elements based on your drawings.

  • C-profiles (C-shaped): Profiles in the shape of the letter "C", often used as stud elements in LGSF frames.
  • U-profiles (U-shaped, channels): Versatile profiles in the shape of the letter "U".
  • Z-profiles (Z-shaped): Profiles in the shape of the letter "Z", used for roof purlins as their shape allows them to be lapped.
  • Hat-profiles (H-profiles): Profiles whose cross-section resembles a "hat". Used for battens and facade subsystems.
  • Custom bent profiles: Any elements based on your drawings (within our technical limitations of up to 4 mm / 3000 mm).

Materials and Manufacturing Accuracy

The quality and load-bearing capacity of a cold-formed profile directly depend on two factors: the raw material used and the bending accuracy. For thin-walled elements (up to 4 mm), geometrical tolerances (according to ISO 2768) are critical to prevent buckling.

Available Materials

Material Type (per EN 10346) Steel Grade (Example) Description
Structural Steel S275, S355 Standard for most structural applications.
High-Strength Steel S700 (and others) Allows for reduced weight and section thickness while maintaining load capacity.
Galvanized Steel Z275 g/m² (and others) Raw material with a hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion protection.
Stainless Steel AISI 304, 316, 430 For use in particularly aggressive environments (industrial, marine).

Key Tolerances (ISO 2768)

Our equipment allows us to maintain high accuracy classes, ensuring the profiles match the design calculations.

Characteristic Standard Our Accuracy Class
Linear and angular tolerances ISO 2768-1 m (Medium) / f (Fine)
Geometrical tolerances (Straightness, Flatness) ISO 2768-2 K (Medium) / H (High)

Areas of Application

  • Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) components
  • Roof and wall purlins, girts
  • Lightweight truss elements
  • Facade subsystems for ventilated facades
  • Reinforcing profiles and embedded parts
  • Custom structural components

We are a reliable manufacturing partner for construction companies and engineers. Our approach is based on experience, precision, and full compliance with standards.

  • Experience and Expertise: We have been working with sheet metal since 1993 and have certified engineers on staff.
  • In-House Production: Our own workshops (over 1000 m²) in Riga, equipped with high-precision cutting and bending machinery.
  • Flexibility and Custom Solutions: We manufacture complex profiles from your drawings, with thicknesses up to 4 mm.
  • EN 1090 Certification: Our structural profiles are CE marked (mandatory) and come with a Declaration of Performance (DoP).
  • Engineering Support: We are ready to assist with technical consultations and load-bearing capacity calculations (ITC) for your custom elements.
  • Full Cycle: We handle all stages—from calculation to fabrication and delivery within Latvia and to other EU countries.


Production Process

Metal profile bending process


CE Mark Akvilon

EN 1090 Compliance (CE Marking)

Structural metal profiles intended for building constructions are subject to mandatory certification according to the EN 1090-1 standard and require CE marking. We ensure full Factory Production Control (FPC) and provide all necessary documentation, including the Declaration of Performance (DoP).


Calculation and Fabrication

Prices for metal profiles are provided upon request, as they depend on the steel type, thickness, and complexity of the bend. Send us your drawings or specifications for an accurate cost estimate. We are also ready to assist with calculating the load-bearing capacity (ITC) of elements.
