HSS Benefits

Here are some principal benefits that you can count on from the use of HSS in construction and other applications: · Strength - HSS has high strength-to-weight ratios, excellent compression support characteristics and excellent torsional resistance.

Appearance
In exposed applications, round, square and rectangular HSS becomes an exciting, visual part of the design of buildings and other structures.

Uniformity
HSS provides a uniformity of size, shape, strength and tolerances that makes its use totally predictable.

Ease of Fabrication
HSS can be readily bent, formed, punched and drilled. And new, improved methods to fasten HSS to itself or to other materials are making its use simpler and faster.

Cost Effectiveness
HSS is competitive in cost with other structural materials. And, with improved connecting and fastening methods, it can often enjoy a cost advantage.

Resistant/Consistent
HSS is fire resistant and doesn’t warp, twist, split, swell or shrink. It resists dry rot and mildew, as well as termites and carpenter ants

Environmetally Friendly
HSS is made from steel, one of the world’s most recyclable and recycled materials
