HSS’s distinctive rounded edges also offer great aesthetic possibilities for designs that make use of exposed structural steel.

See how HSS’s closed design and efficient strength-to-weight ratio made it possible to build a bacteria-resistant facility without breaking the bank on fabrication costs.
