Where to Use Steel Furniture?

Metals, particularly various types of steel, are materials suitable for producing diverse components that require high resistance to external factors. This includes mechanical stresses such as pressure, bending, or torsion, as well as thermal loads and exposure to chemicals. This is facilitated by numerous technologies that enable specific components to achieve their required dimensions and geometry. These processes can include cutting, welding, and rolling, as well as machining. In the Pomeranian region, Metal-Serwis Wandtke specializes in the comprehensive production of metal goods, providing services such as laser cutting, sheet metal bending and pressing, welding, rolling, and also turning, milling, and drilling. One interesting product manufactured from steel is furniture. Let us examine it more closely.

What is steel furniture and where is it used?

Steel furniture can be manufactured from materials with varying properties, depending on its intended application. In gastronomy, where easily cleanable and disinfectable surfaces are crucial, and resistance to contaminant accumulation and bacterial growth is paramount, stainless and acid-resistant steels are employed. In applications where robust resistance to daily mechanical loads, impacts, or abrasion is more critical, steels with a galvanized layer, subsequently powder-coated, are typically utilized. This applies, for instance, to workshop furniture. However, steel can also be effectively used in the production of furniture for commercial premises and residential interiors. In such applications, alongside sheets and traditional profiles, closed profiles, such as various types of tubes, are also widely employed.

How is steel furniture produced?

The manufacturing of steel furniture typically involves sheet metal bending and pressing, as well as cutting and welding profiles and sections, which enables permanent material joining. It also necessitates drilling and cutting holes. Most products are subsequently spray-painted or powder-coated, with the exception of acid-resistant and stainless steel, which possess an inherently attractive visual appearance.
