What is the SHS?
Cold Formed Square Hollow Section (SHS) is a metal profile with a hollow cross-section. Cold Formed SHS are made from thin sheets of steel formed into square or rectangular shapes and welded together at the seams.
Cold Formed SHS are usually used in structural applications, such as framing walls and roofs or building support beams. They offer an economical solution because they require less material than other metal profiles.
Applications of Formed SHS
Cold Formed Square Hollow Sections have several advantages over hot-formed metal profiles, traditionally used in construction projects. Cold Formed SHS can be produced faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost than hot-formed metal products.
Cold Formed SHS also has a better strength-to-weight ratio and is more resistant to corrosion than hot-formed metal profiles. Cold Formed SHS also requires fewer fixings since the shape can be welded into place without additional fixings.
Characteristics of Formed SHS
That makes Cold-Formed SHS a popular choice for construction projects across the globe. Cold Formed SHS offers efficient use of materials, cost savings due to reduced fabrication time, and improved structural integrity over other construction materials.
Cold Formed SHS is also easy to install, making it suitable for large-scale projects or shorter installation times on smaller projects. Whether you’re looking for a structural support solution or need a reliable product with a quick turnaround time, Cold Formed SHS is a great choice.
