Applications of bending: innovation in steel and aluminum for architecture, construction, and industry
From a curved sunshade that regulates light in a building to an aluminum profile that fits perfectly into a façade, the bending of steel and aluminum has revolutionized the way we design and build.
At Mabelux, we’ve spent over 30 years transforming ideas into tangible structures — making the seemingly impossible a reality.
The many applications of steel and aluminum bending across architecture, construction, and industry allow us to turn the most rigid materials into innovative solutions.
This is how we shape your ideas.
The art of bending in architecture: aesthetics and functionality
In architecture, design isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about functionality. Every project has its own personality and unique requirements, and this is where aluminum and steel bending reaches its full potential.
This technique enables the creation of elegant shapes, unique structures, and elements that combine design with energy efficiency.
Key architectural applications of bending:
- Façades and curtain walls
Curved curtain walls, whether convex or concave, add visual dynamism to the most modern buildings. In addition to their aesthetic impact, these solutions integrate seamlessly with glass, achieving perfect harmony between design and functionality. - Curved windows and doors
With a wide range of arches and styles — segmental, semicircular, carpanel — our solutions adapt to any architectural project while always maintaining a balance between aesthetics and practicality. - Sunshades and railings
Curved sunshades not only enhance buildings but also improve energy efficiency by controlling the entry of light and heat. Meanwhile, curved railings provide safety without compromising design. - Shower enclosures and pool covers
From unique shower screen designs to curved pool enclosures, aluminum bending allows for durable, visually appealing solutions that blend effortlessly with their surroundings. - At Mabelux, we’ve contributed to iconic projects that redefine the boundaries of architectural design. Every curve tells a story — and we help shape it.
Bending in construction: flexible and durable solutions
In construction, strength and versatility are essential. Bending steel and aluminum enables us to create robust solutions that integrate seamlessly into even the most complex projects. Whether for functional or decorative structures, our techniques adapt to the most demanding requirements in the sector.
Applications of bending in construction:
- Revolving doors and elevators
Curved profiles bring precision and strength to essential elements like revolving doors and elevator structures, ensuring top standards of quality and safety. - Escalators
We design curved profiles that not only serve their functional purpose but also enhance the environment in which they are installed. - Covers and decorative elements
Whether for pool covers or architectural accents, bending transforms materials into unique pieces that blend durability with design. - Fire-resistant and bulletproof systems
For projects requiring extreme safety, we offer RF steel bending that meets the strictest regulations — working with top brands like Jansen and Forsters.
Industrial bending: efficiency meets functionality
The bending of aluminum and steel profiles is essential for optimizing the function and design of countless applications across the industrial sector. From transport to machinery, our curved solutions are essential in a variety of industries.
Key industrial applications of bending:
- Transport
We supply curved profiles for windows in boats, buses, caravans, and cable cars. These solutions guarantee a perfect fit and a modern look. - Maquinery protection
Curved profiles protect equipment and conveyor belts, providing strength and durability even in demanding industrial environments. - Industrial refrigeration sector
We design profiles for refrigerated display cases that not only offer excellent thermal insulation but also stand out in terms of design. - Sports equipment
From football goals to other athletic equipment, bending ensures precision and strength in every product. - Guides for hospitals
In the healthcare sector, curved profiles help facilitate patient movement, improving the functionality of hospital environments.
Bending for windows: Obumat
With over thirty years of experience bending aluminum and steel, in 2023, Mabelux launched Obumat — the first minimalist round window with French-style opening.
This innovative update to the classic porthole window is an example of how we combine creativity, functionality, and customization to offer unique solutions tailored to market demands.
