Is stainless steel also available in flexible?

ROOFINOX is the inventor of HFX stainless technology. We are an Austrian manufacturer and the only complete supplier of roof and facade systems. Like no other.

HFX stainless steel is highly flexible stainless steel and has been specially developed for craftsmen. The CLASSIC design, for example, is 35% more flexible than competitor products. Find out why here.

ROOFINOX began developing a highly flexible stainless steel over 30 years ago. The result is HFX stainless, which is noticeably more flexible and non-reflecting while retaining the proven advantages of stainless steel (rustproof, stronger, more durable).

HFX stainless is 35% more flexible!

How can the flexibility or malleability of metals be compared?
The force required for a material sample to deform or, in other words, begin to stretch can be determined by applying tension - this parameter is called the yield point or yield strength. The following graph compares the yield strengths of different stainless steel samples.

ROOFINOX HFX Edelstahl ist 4x weicher als andere Edelstahlsorten

This flexibility or malleability of HFX stainless is achieved during the manufacturing process through a modified production sequence and additional processing steps such as stress relief annealing. At the same time, the usual strength of HFX stainless is retained, making it particularly suitable for withstanding all weathers.

The big difference lies in the detail. Only a direct comparison of the mechanical properties provides clarity.

From Austria - the better alternative

ROOFINOX is the Austrian manufacturer of the only complete stainless steel system for roofs and facades. Like no other.

The following 9 properties show some of the differences between HFX stainless, conventional stainless steel and other construction metals. At the same time, these properties are the main reasons why HFX stainless is perceived as a better alternative.

ROOFINXO HFX Edelstahl ist das stärkste Baumetall.

4 times stronger

HFX stainless is four times stronger than aluminium. This makes HFX stainless the strongest construction metal and particularly resistant to hail, storms and vandalism.

ROOFINOX HFX Edelstahl für Dach und Fassade ist extra matt.

4 times matte

HFX stainless is four times more matte (88% less reflection) than conventional stainless steel. Because shiny stainless steel surfaces only belong on buildings if they are desired.

ROOFINXO HFX Edelstahl ist 35% weicher aber um einiges stärker als andere Baumetalle.

35% more flexible

The highly flexible HFX stainless was specially developed for roofs and facades. It is therefore 1/3 more flexible than conventional stainless steel and ensures a more attractive result.

ROOFINOX HFX Edelstahl ist auch bei Kälte gut zu verarbeiten

1/3 less expansion

Less waviness, less expansion noise, less stress on the supporting structure and the longest roof membranes thanks to the low thermal expansion of HFX stainless.

80% less CO2 emissions

250m² of HFX stainless roof or facade saves 64,000 kilometres of driving compared to conventional stainless steel. A typical specialist company thus saves 1,600,000 kilometres per year!

Was it planned that your design fades after 10 years?

HFX stainless does not fade!

You are probably familiar with the faded cars on our roads.

Ageing paints and pigments or, to put it simply, colours are responsible for this.
