Connect two panels while protecting the edges from damage. Push this trim onto an edge and its tight grip holds it in place. Since all of this trim is rigid and does not bend, it's designed for straight surfaces. Made of aluminum, it's lightweight and offers good corrosion resistance. It can be used outdoors.

High-Strength A992 Alloy Steel H-Bars

Also known as W- and WF-beams, H-bars have wide flanges for strength. Made of alloy steel, they're often used in machine bases, platforms, and frames. Alloy steel contains silicon and vanadium to boost strength and hardness, so it bends less under load than carbon steel. Surface harden it for added wear resistance.

H-bars have wider flanges than I-beams, making them stronger but also heavier. They’re easier to weld as their straight flanges offer more surface area than I-beams’ tapered flanges.

The beam trade number indicates the channel’s outside width and weight in lbs./ft. This gives you an easy reference for selecting the right size and strength for your needs.

Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel H-Bars

H-bars have larger flange widths and thicknesses than I-beams, so they’re stronger and carry heavier loads, yet also weigh more. From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
