Fabricators like working with Atlas Tube’s steel hollow structural sections (HSS) because they’re easy to bend, form, punch and drill. They lie flat and are easy to jig. Welding requires no pre- or post-heating, and mating parts fit together without notching or copying joints. Plus, the smaller surface area reduces the costs of finishing, fireproofing and painting, and the reduced weight cuts shipping costs.
The increased efficiency of HSS over wide flange sections means building with less steel, which means lowering the weight of the structure. Use our comparison tool to see how HSS can save weight on your next project.
