Stainless Steel Flat Bar Description
Stainless steel flat bar is a common use case for polished stainless steel, typically 304 stainless steel. Flat bars are used for various structural supports and functional elements, including braces, trim, frames, and more. These products are commonly used across a wide variety of industries, including construction and engineering, architecture, elevators and escalators, and more.
Stainless steel bar is a term used to describe stainless steel that is cut, rolled, or extruded to an elongated, yet solid shape. Bars may be round, rectangular, square, or formed into other shapes. Bars are distinct from tubes, which are hollow in the middle.
“Flat bar” refers to bars that have a rectangular shape—that is, bars which are significantly wider than they are thick. Polished stainless steel is commonly used for flat bar applications.
