Hollow structural steel can achieve a wide range of applications due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, economy and simplicity compared to other steel products. Therefore, it is highly popular in construction. Hollow structural sections are sometimes considered the preferred materials in buildings with exposed structural supports. The reason for this is that their clean lines, smooth surfaces and smooth finish give them a beautiful appeal. These hollow sections are also visually appealing and give a modern and simple look to the building. Other advantages of HSS construction hollow sections are as follows:

High power to weight ratio
HSS is often considered the most economical structural member due to its structural efficiency. The construction hollow sections have a large turning radius about both axes, which provides excellent compression performance and significant weight reduction.

Aesthetic attraction
Because of its smooth sides, rounded corners, and closed sections, HSS is often considered an ideal choice architecturally when presenting a structure.

Less surface area to cover
Rectangular HSS (including the square) has approximately two-thirds the area of an open section of similar capacity. This means less surface preparation, painting materials and labor and less cement and other materials.

Closed section
Closed sections are useful for resisting torsional loads. In addition, HSS structural hollow sections are a natural choice due to the minimal surfaces for collecting dust and debris in buildings such as food processing and other cleaning equipment where cleanliness is a necessity.

Ease of construction
A hollow structural part has a smooth surface along its edges. This simple feature makes construction using this material very easy. In addition, they require minimal edge preparation. This means they are much easier to attach to other metal parts and only require a clean, straight cut before being welded to another flat surface.

Wide range of sizes
These hollow sections also come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, meaning you have a wide selection to choose from. If your metal supplier does not provide the size or shape you require, a hollow structural section can be easily cut to exact specifications.
