Comparative
This table compares the weights of the flat tubes and plates of the same external dimensions. Using flat tubes in the right applications, it is possible to make considerable savings in weight and cost. Its slightly rounded edges make it more elegant appearance. Also the results obtained in different surface finishes makes this product is suitable in all aspects of decoration.
