FABRICATION OF STAINLESS STEEL DOORS & WINDOW

[EIRI/EDPR/4588N] J.C.: 2805XL

INTRODUCTION

Fabrication is the process of making products by combining standardized parts (Stainless steel bars/pipes in the proposed business) using different processes. Fabrication of Stainless steel doors and windows involves processes of cutting, grinding, drilling, joining and glass fitting. Stainless steel fabrication can be used to make a wide range of products including tables, chairs, lamps, picture frames, decorative panels, doors and windows. Stainless steel products have extensive use in industrial, commercial and household activities. The proposed study provides details about establishing and running a business of fabrication of Stainless steel doors and windows. The proposed business can be started with simple machinery and equipment with Stainless steel bars/pipes as the main raw materials. 

Stainless steel is a good choice for fabrication because it is lightweight, strong, corrosion free, non-sparking and non-magnetic. There are many benefits that Stainless steel metal offers to the construction industry and is used for making external facades, roofs and walls, windows and doors, staircases, railings, shelves, and several other applications. Stainless steel frames allow for an exceptionally tight seal. Dust, air, water, and sound are unable to penetrate Stainless steel doors and windows when they are closed. Therefore, Stainless steel has established itself as a highly valuable building material in the modern construction industry. For the past decade, the local construction sector has been growing at a high rate which has generated an increase in demand for Stainless steel doors and windows. 1 The main raw materials of Stainless steel doors and windows include rectangular shaped Stainless steel bars/pipes of different shapes and sizes. 

The Stainless steel bars/pipes used in the fabrication process are 14 feet, 16 feet and 18 feet in lengths. The Stainless steel bars/pipes used in fabrication of doors are 1.5-inch in length, 3-inch in width and 1.2-mm in thickness. The Stainless steel bars/pipes used in fabrication of windows are 1-inch in length, 3.75-inch in width and with a thickness of 1.2-mm. The Stainless steel bar/pipes used in fabrication process have different section numbers (specific type of Stainless steel bars/pipes). In the process of fabricating Stainless steel doors, section numbers E-10, D-35, D-33, D-32, D-52 and D-61 (Stainless steel sheet) are used. In the process of fabricating Stainless steel windows, section numbers DC-26B, DC-30B, M-23, M-28, M-24 and D-29 are used. Detail of these numbers is provided in the main text. Glass is fitted in the frames of Stainless steel doors and windows to complete those. Glass comes in wide variety of colors, thicknesses and sizes. The proposed business will provide glass fitting services to the potential customers instead of maintaining glass inventory. The proposed business will not purchase glass from the market. The customers will purchase glass from the market based on their preferences (color, quality and thickness) from the market according to the size prescribed by proposed business. Fitting of glass will be done by Stainless steel door and window maker. 

Other raw materials used in the fabrication of Stainless steel doors and windows include locks, joints, SS sliding wheels, PVC rubber, etc. These raw materials are locally manufactured and are easily available in the local markets of Chennai. 

The proposed Pre-feasibility Document provides details for setting up a business of “Fabrication of Stainless steel Doors and Windows”. The suggested product portfolio includes different types of Stainless steel doors and Stainless steel windows. 

These cities are preferred for the proposed unit due to their large populations and presence of higher number of target customers. Raw materials and skilled labor required for the proposed fabrication unit are also easily available in larger cities.
