Small I section/H section?

[Forward Look]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to get really small I beam steel? Around 40mm top to bottom and a width of about 20mm.

Using the nomenclature in the link above:

D = 40mmish
B = 20mmish

I imagine most people use box section at this sort of size, but the look is far more important for what I'm doing than the strength.

Worst comes to the worst I could always saw some box section in half and reweld back to back.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.
All the best,
FL

Does it have to be steel? You may be able to get aluminium extrusions that size.
