Forma profiles: steel that doesn't hide

Most structural steel is meant to be covered — Forma profiles are built for the opposite case, where the steel itself is the finish.

The range covers railing tube, facade profiles, and furniture-grade sections with a smoother mill finish and tighter surface tolerance than standard structural stock.

Because they're still galvanized to the same base standard, they hold up outdoors on balconies and facades without needing a repaint cycle.

Architects specifying Forma for a visible run — a staircase rail, a facade fin — should ask for the batch to be pulled together rather than mixed across production runs; zinc finish can vary subtly batch to batch, and a mixed run shows on a surface meant to be seen.
