UPN
UPN metal U-channels are continuous, U-shaped structural profiles designed with tapered flanges. Manufactured from carbon steel via hot rolling, these black steel channels add essential rigidity and stability to steel structures, significantly increasing their overall load-bearing capacity. Despite their relatively light weight, UPN profiles offer high durability and are engineered to withstand heavy vertical loads across a wide range of construction and industrial applications.

Technical Specifications
We supply UPN channels made of black steel that meet all European standards (EN10025) and GOST (ГОСТ) requirements. It is of extreme importance in metal construction to use only high-quality, approved materials, and we provide fully certified structural steel for your safety and project longevity.
- Steel grades: S235/275; S355
- Standard lengths: L-10000mm; L-12000mm; L-15000mm; L-18000mm
- Average height: 80mm to 400mm (UPN 50 and UPN 65 also available for specific applications)
Applications in Construction and Industry
UPN channels are a fundamental component in structural engineering, chosen for their balance of weight reduction and structural strength. Their relatively light weight facilitates easier transportation and more efficient installation on the work site. Whether you are building a massive commercial structure or a private home foundation, these profiles are used in:
- Construction of bridges and load-bearing steel columns.
- Frameworks for industrial and commercial metal structures.
- General metal framing and improvement of bearing structures.
- Creation of interfloor overlaps.
- Hanging ceiling systems and heavy-duty finishing work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a UPN and other U-channels?
UPN metal channels are specifically designed with tapered (sloping) inner flanges. This design provides excellent structural rigidity for vertical loads, making them a standard choice in heavy construction.
What steel grades are your UPN profiles made from?
We supply UPN profiles manufactured from hot-rolled carbon steel in grades S235/275 and S355, fully compliant with European standard EN10025.
Do you supply U-channels for private construction projects?
Yes. We quote custom volumes for everyone. Whether you need materials for a large commercial development or a private home foundation, we provide the exact quantities required.
What standard lengths do you offer?
Our standard UPN lengths are 10000mm, 12000mm, 15000mm, and 18000mm.
Do your steel materials come with quality certificates?
Absolutely. We only supply approved steel materials that hold all necessary European and GOST steel certificates, ensuring the safety and durability of your structures.
