Why Choose A Steel Hollow Section?

Hollow sections are popular due to their ability to withstand high loads and their resistance to torsion and bending, making them ideal for use in heavy-duty environments.

They are particularly beneficial when weight reduction is important, as the hollow design offers strength without the excess weight of solid bars.

Whether you’re working on structural steel framing, machinery components, or architectural features, these products provide the strength, stability, and flexibility you need.

Strong And Stable

Maximum Strength: Steel hollow sections are known for their excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation, making them ideal for use in demanding projects.

Space Efficiency: The hollow design allows for lighter construction without compromising on strength or stability.

Versatility: Available in circular, square and rectangular shapes, hollow sections can be tailored to a wide range of structural and design needs.

Corrosion Resistance: We offer hollow sections in a variety of finishes, including galvanised options, to ensure long-lasting performance in all conditions.

FAQs

Are steel hollow sections available in different sizes?

Yes, we offer both square and rectangular hollow sections in a variety of sizes and finishes. Our team can also provide custom dimensions tailored to your project needs.

Yes, steel hollow sections are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. If you’re using them outside, we recommend galvanised steel for enhanced durability.
We offer various coatings and finishes, including galvanised and powder-coated options, to suit different environmental conditions and project needs.

Most steel hollow sections are made from mild steel (e.g., S235, S275, S355) or stainless steel, depending on structural and corrosion resistance needs.

While solid bars have more mass, hollow sections provide excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for structural applications without unnecessary weight.

Thickness varies based on structural requirements, with common options ranging from 2mm to 10mm or more, depending on load-bearing needs.

They are typically produced through cold-forming or hot-rolling processes, followed by welding or seamless extrusion for different applications.

Absolutely. They can be cut, welded, drilled, or fabricated to fit project specifications.
This depends on load-bearing requirements, application type, and structural calculations. A structural engineer can help specify the correct size.
