Stainless G Brace (Architectural – Steel Frame Work)
Expanding G Brace to a stainless-steel type
Until now, G Brace has been available only in general structural rolled steel (SS material) and rolled round steel for building structures (SNR material). However, when used in locations such as atriums and open spaces, stainless steel braces are ideal. Stainless steel braces offer a more beautiful appearance than steel ones, and surface treatment can add gloss or create a hairline finish. The shapes of the accessory parts (fork ends, turnbuckles, pins, etc.) are the same as those of steel G Brace. As with steel G Brace, we stock accessory parts (cross turnbuckles are made to order), so even stainless steel products can be offered at a considerably reduced cost. We can also manufacture not only standard products but also custom-designed parts. Care is required when using Stainless G Brace outdoors. Please contact us in advance if you plan to use it outdoors.
