What is S280GD Steel?
S280GD is a non-alloy structural steel, made of about 98-99% iron and 0.1-0.2% carbon, meeting EN 10346 with a minimum yield strength of 280 MPa. It is a flat-rolled steel, typically hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance. In S280GD, "S" denotes structural steel, "280" the yield strength, and "GD" galvanization. It comes with finishes like +Z (zinc) and +ZF (zinc-iron), suitable for construction, automotive, and light engineering. Similar to FeE280G, it has an EU steel number of 1.0244.

Applications
S280GD is used in a wide range of construction applications where high load-bearing capacity and long-lasting corrosion protection are required. Typical areas of application are
Roof and façade systems: trapezoidal and standing seam profiles for residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
Drainage components: Gutters, downpipes and rainwater collectors.
Lightweight steel construction: hall constructions, hall aprons, carports and roofing.
Facade cladding: Profiled sheets and sandwich panels for wall and ceiling elements.
Solar mounting systems: Frames and substructures with a long service life and low maintenance.
Thanks to the flexible overlay options, maintenance intervals can be extended and overall operating costs reduced, making the S280GD an economically attractive solution for modern construction projects.
