These are specific types of bars produced with a Z-angle steel. As these zed bars are highly suitable for welding, they are widely used in building and construction. Likewise, they are used for framing, supports, reinforcements, tracks, and lots of other commercial uses

Zed bars are commonly used where there is not sufficient bearing at the head or base of the SFS panel. voestalpine Metsec’s patented slotted head track has been developed to allow for the deflection in the primary structural frame without applying any vertical load into the studs.

The SFS Z Bar is designed for use at the head and base of Steel Framing System (SFS) panels, providing a secure connection where the SFS frame overlaps the footprint of the structure. This component ensures stability and proper alignment of the SFS panels, accommodating the interface between the SFS frame and the structure it is mounted on.

Knauf SFS 'Z' Bar is for use in the Knauf steel framing system where the frame sits partially outside the line of the structure and is made from galvanised steel.

Zed bars – These are used to provide head and base support to walls where required. High load cleats – These are used to provide additional support for jamb studs where required. Slotted angle – These are used to provide support to continuous wall studs where the offset from the primary frame is too great for a universal cleat.

Save time and money and it's hassle free! Our Light Gauge Steel Framing System (SFS) components are manufactured in accordance to BS EN 10346:2015 in both S390 GD+Z275 and S450 GD+Z275 material grades. All steel sections are manufactured to close tolerance with a thorough inspection procedure before despatch according to the relevant standards.

High carbon steel has many different uses such as milling machines, cutting tools (such as chisels) and high strength wires. These applications require a much finer microstructure, which improves the toughness. Carbon steel is a popular metal choice for knife-making due to its high amount of carbon, giving the blade more edge retention.

Zed bars, such as the 40 x 50 x 40 x 2mm variant, are available in 2mm material and 4000mm length to be cut to size on site. These bars are commonly employed in situations where there isn’t adequate bearing at the head or base of the SFS panel. And to allow separation between hot rolled steel to allow the expansion of intumescent paint.
