Solutions by
Application
ArcelorMittal Europe offers steel products and solutions that can adapt to most roofing and guttering applications, including:
- A full range of Metallic coated and Organic coated steels for any kind of roofing solution.
- Tile or slate patterns with Granite® Impression Cloudy and Granite® Storm. Roofing tiles made of steel combine a wide range of aesthetics with all the advantages of metal: lightness, option for low slope, ease and speed of installation, resistance to climate, and watertightness.
- Standing seam roofs with Granite® HFX Cool. Standing seams have been used for hundreds of years to seal metal roofs. Typically found in cold climates, the standing seams keep the vulnerable connections above snow level, ensuring they remain dry. Standing seams also provide additional visual interest – whether they are oriented vertically, horizontally, or at an angle. They also enable complex curved and long span roofing solutions. There are different types of standing seam roofing systems available on the market. The first type is made of profiled sheets, which are then assembled on the roof. For the second type, the metal is delivered in sheets or small coils, which are seamed directly on the roof by the installer.
- Rainwater systems with Granite® Rain HDX prepainted steel and Magnelis®.

ArcelorMittal is continuing to develop its organic coated product offer in three main ways to answer market demands:
1. Durability: Enhancing durability by improving paints, coatings, and edges. For example, all new coatings we develop are thicker than 25 microns to create a long-lasting coating.
2. Aesthetics: ArcelorMittal is offering new aesthetics to architects and designers including new colours, finishes, and textures. We’re also developing alternatives such organic coated steels which mimic the aesthetic of weathering steel, but can be used in extreme environments.
3. Sustainability: ArcelorMittal’s organic coated products meet today’s sustainability criteria, but how will they perform tomorrow? We are constantly monitoring the evolution of standards such as the European Union’s REACH regulation to ensure our products remain sustainable in the future. We’re also developing new high strength steels which require less resources to produce and which enable architects to design lighter and more sustainable structures.

Co-marketing project creates series of animated videos to educate consumers
ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products has worked with Polish roofing manufacturer BLACHPROFIL 2® to develop a series of animated videos about steel and roofing. The 10 videos in the BP2 SteelStories series are designed to educate distributors, roofers, and end users about the properties of steel and the extensive services offered by BLACHPROFIL 2® to its customers. The cartoon style of the videos makes them easy to understand while conveying a large amount of technical information.
BLACHPROFIL 2® manufactures steel roofing solutions using a range of organic coated steels from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products. The company’s customers are typically roofers and distributors working in Poland and nearby countries.
Logical extension to existing marketing
“Our users don’t really know how BLACHPROFIL 2® works or why we have chosen to use steel as the material for our products,” notes Paul Kudzia, marketing director for the company. “We are constantly looking for ways to provide them with information about these topics in a format that is easily accessible. Animated videos seemed a logical extension to our existing marketing activities.”
The series begins with the story of steel – the material on which the modern world was built. This is followed by videos explaining how steel is made and why BLACHPROFIL 2® uses steel to manufacture its products. “Steel is an environmentally friendly material, and by extension so are our products,” says Paul Kudzia. “To be on this planet you need to be eco-friendly. And for that you just have to have steel.”
Technical information from ArcelorMittal
Technical information for the Steel and Steel Production videos (the first two in the series) was provided by ArcelorMittal. This included real footage of the steelmaking process which the illustrators used as inspiration for the animated videos.
Among other topics, the video series also explores logistics, coatings, corrosion, UV resistance, the BLACHPROFIL 2® product offer, and the company’s in-house laboratory. “We are one of the only roofing manufacturers in Eastern Europe to have our own laboratory,” notes Paul Kudzia. “That allows us to verify the quality of the steels we receive from ArcelorMittal and ensures we are creating high-quality and durable products for our customers.”
The original videos were prepared in Polish and are available on BLACHPROFIL 2®’s YouTube channel. Two of the videos have been translated to English.
Masters Academy reaches out to roofers
The last animated video is about the BLACHPROFIL 2® Masters Academy. The Academy was established in 2017 as a series of meetings where roofers could learn more about steel, the innovative products made by BLACHPROFIL 2®, and the latest technology solutions for roofing.
“The Masters Academy was born out of our sense of responsibility for the quality of roofing prepared with our products,” says Paul Kudzia. “By being in direct dialogue with the people who are installing our products we are helping to maintain high standards in the industry.”
The Masters Academy is held at the BLACHPROFIL 2® production centre in Dąbrowa Górnicza, Poland. The events are attended by roofers from Poland and Central Europe. “In a typical year, we welcome around a thousand ‘students’,” says Paul Kudzia. “Last year we organised around 18 meetings, each with 50 to 70 attendees.”
ArcelorMittal has its own timeslot to present information about its products and quality. Paweł Patyk, head of ArcelorMittal’s Technical Client Team for Region East, has presented this part of the programme himself: “It’s a good chance for ArcelorMittal people to meet roofers who are using our products every day. The customers and distributors who attend these events don’t necessarily know a lot about steel or the processes ArcelorMittal and BLACHPROFIL 2® use. We can pass on information, but it’s also a perfect opportunity for us to learn from people in the field and hear their ideas for product improvements.”

Introducing our steel grade pages!
Looking for technical details for structural steel grades? Constructalia has got you covered. Check out our new steel grade pages that include mechanical, chemical, and coating property details.
Magnelis® structural steel grades
Magnelis® structural steel grades include: S350GD, S390GD, S420GD-HyPer®, S450GD-HyPer®, and S550GD-HyPer®.
These metallic coated structural steels are mainly used in construction, road and railway infrastructure, agriculture and farming, solar energy generation, and tubular applications.
Magnelis® is a flat carbon steel product coated on both sides with a zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy. This alloy, composed of 93.5% zinc, 3.5% aluminium, and 3% magnesium, is applied by means of a continuous hot dip galvanising process. This optimum chemical composition has been selected to provide the best results in terms of corrosion resistance.
Indaten® structural weathering steel grades
Indaten® S355W structural weathering steel grades are fine grain, high strength structural steels offering high yield strength and improved corrosion resistance in specific aggressive environments. These grades have excellent weldability with all the usual welding processes because of their low carbon content and fine grained structure.
When used uncoated and exposed to bad weather, an oxide layer develops on the steel surface, forming a purplish-brown, finely grained patina that bonds very strongly to the steel and protects it. With their characteristic colour, steels with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance are used in architectural projects like bridges either to harmonise with the environment or to optimise maintenance costs all along the construction life cycle.

ArcelorMittal rails will keep the French Open players dry
In May 2020, all eyes will be on the French Open / Roland-Garros tournament. While encouraging Novak, Serena, Rafael, or Roger, we invite you to admire the new retractable roof of the central court! Thanks to ArcelorMittal Rodange rails, your favourite players will be protected from the rain.
Premium rails provided in record time for the French sports monument
The Rodange site produced the 44 crane rails used for the construction of the retractable roof of the court. The A150 rails are the largest in our DIN range and were produced in 110CrV of superior quality. This shade has long been exclusively developed by ArcelorMittal with special straightening to ensure perfect track alignment.
The rails were mainly produced for the Philippe Chatrier central court roof. Once the rails were manufactured, the finishing operations were managed and organised in Yutz, France for:
- Cutting: The rails were cut to length according to customer specifications, including 45° corner cuts while respecting the required lengths with a tolerance of +/- 1mm.
- Hardness: The A150 are the highest quality in the range.
- Handling: Made with textile straps only, without magnets or chains, despite the size of the rails (the A150 are the largest rails in the range of crane rails produced in Rodange).
- Fast delivery
In total, it took only two months between ordering and shipments to provide the end customer with completely finished rails - from production to delivery. Thanks to good internal cooperation, we were able to provide the customer with a complete solution.
The revival of an iconic tennis court
Built in 1928, the Philippe Chatrier central court has undergone a complete renovation to modernise the stands and build a retractable roof.
This roof will not only allow the organisation of night games, but will also protect players from the rain in case of bad weather. It is composed of 11 panels of 100 metres and 350 tonnes each which slide on our rails. Thanks to our high quality products, this 3850-tonne roof will open and close in 12 minutes.

The many applications of ArcelorMittal crane rails
From port and terminal projects to giant cranes or retractable roofs (the latest trend in sport stadiums), ArcelorMittal crane rails are used in many applications and are present in every continent.
Working closely with customers
ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products Rails & Special Sections is working closely with its customers to develop specific rails and new products according to their needs. Flexibility is another key factor in improving customer service. We can supply standard rail lengths from 6 to 36 metres, but other lengths are available upon request as well as finishing possibilities (cuts, special cuts, drilling, machining, bending, blasting-painting, etc.).
Incomparable knowledge, selection, and expertise
Crane rails are produced in several steel grade qualities and specifications according to customers’ requirements. Historical crane rails producer, ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products Rails & Special Sections has built an incomparable knowledge and expertise of this product range. The company has also created with its customers numbers of rails as per all the MRS range used worldwide in major port projects and has established levels of quality control even stronger than the basic standards to secure our customers in their choice of a key product related to most often critical applications.
ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products Rails & Special Sections has the largest products and grades portfolio, from the full range of DIN crane rails, MRS crane rails, CR crane rails, and many other specific rails, with hundreds of references in main ports worldwide.
Retractable roofs: a new trend in stadium construction
Retractable roofs are getting more and more popular in stadium construction, and ArcelorMittal crane rails are already present in some spectacular stadiums all around the world. Retractable roofs are designed to move panels that weigh hundreds of pounds in just minutes and they allow to control the stadium’s interior environment more effectively as they can be closed during inclement weather and opened on sunny days. After the roofs, retractable pitches might soon become the new trend.
From the world’s largest crane to the latest Ariane rocket
Another impressive application of crane rails is giant cranes. ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products Rails & Special Sections has supplied crane rails for Sarens’ SGC-250, the largest crane in the world, capable of lifting 5000 tonnes, which is equal to 1408 elephants, 63 trains, or 20 planes.
Another major application is the launching pad of the Ariane 6 rocket, for which crane rails have been supplied for the construction of the rail track.

Roofing
Steel roofing solutions are growing in popularity as architects, designers, and homeowners seek out stylish and modern alternatives to traditional materials. More and more architects are considering roofing as the “fifth facade” of buildings. Metallic roofing offers endless possibilities not only to express creativity, but also to make manufacture affordable.
However, steel roofs are popular due to more than just visually pleasing aesthetics. They are also extremely lightweight, cost-effective, quick and easy to install, and can increase the value of your building as a result of their low maintenance and durability. In addition, they largely contribute to a building's thermal and energy efficiency.
Useful information

Moreover, as a construction product manufacturer, ArcelorMittal Europe proposes an extended range of profiles and sandwich panels for roofing solutions:
- Sandwich panels made of steel have become one of the most recognised solutions for insulated buildings. ArcelorMittal sandwich panels for roofs have a PUR / PIR or mineral wool insulation core and thus have insulating, fire-resistant, and flame-retardant functions. The roof panels are suitable for areas with low or medium high humidity. Sandwich panels are widely used for finishing off sheds, barns, and hall roofs, or food industry buildings with low or even negative temperatures.
- ArcelorMittal also produces Eco roof panels, which are very suitable for agricultural buildings.
By choosing ArcelorMittal’s best in class products, you can extend the lifetime of the roofing system beyond 40 years. Working with us, you receive guaranteed quality and sustainability as our products are certified as free of chromates and heavy metals (compliant with the European REACH regulation and ECCA Premium label).
