Shbo Custom Steel

Product Description

KAPHS Custom Steel is a premium made-to-order steel profile system designed specifically for architectural curtain walls, façades, and feature structures. Profiles are produced from carbon, weathering, or stainless steel and finished with premium fluorocarbon coatings from AkzoNobel, Jotun, and PPG.

Because steel has roughly three times the elastic modulus of aluminium, Custom Steel can carry far greater loads at a fraction of the cross-section — enabling long spans, super-tall window walls, and high-permeability façades that aluminium cannot achieve. Combined with thin intumescent coatings, Custom Steel achieves two-hour fire resistance, offering a slender, safer alternative to both aluminium and conventional steel.

Custom Steel ships either as profiles, assembled unitised steel frame panels, or full space grid structures, reducing on-site work and tightening tolerances. Every profile is engineered project-specific — material, geometry, finish, and connection detail.

KAPHS Custom Steel is engineered for large-span, high-transparency, and bespoke-geometry façades — applications where conventional aluminium lacks the strength and traditional steel lacks the slender architectural language. Profiles deliver an aluminium-equivalent appearance with the structural performance of steel, allowing architects to specify cleaner, more open, and more daylit envelopes across four primary categories.

Transportation Hubs

High-speed rail stations, airports, and subway concourses demand long-span roofs, high transparency, and façades that read as light as aluminium while carrying steel loads. Custom Steel is the system of choice — slender, fire-rated, and engineered for the rhythm of civic-scale architecture.

Exhibition & Cultural Landmarks

Museums, art galleries, libraries, concert halls, and exhibition centres rely on Custom Steel for daylit atria, sculptural roofs, and free-form grid shells. Single-curved and twisted geometries are produced from 1:1 three-dimensional lofting — every component digitally fitted before fabrication begins.

Public Buildings

High-ceilinged lobbies, atriums, daylighting roofs, entrances, canopies, and unitised steel frame panels — the everyday architecture of public life. Custom Steel reduces on-site work by shipping as assembled units and grid panels, with tighter tolerances than anything achievable on site.

Super-Tall Buildings

Non-standard irregular nodes, bent and twisted components in super-tall structures . Custom Steel allows architects to express slender tower silhouettes without sacrificing structural integrity — a category of detailing that conventional aluminium and traditional steel cannot reach.
