CoreMet Steel
Hollow Sections Supplier UK & Global
CoreMet Steel is a trusted Steel Hollow Sections Supplier in the UK and worldwide, providing high-quality SHS, RHS, and CHS profiles for construction and engineering projects.
Our hollow sections are known for their strength, versatility, and dimensional accuracy, making them ideal for structural and architectural applications.
What Is a Hollow Section?
Hollow sections are structural steel profiles with a closed cross-section, available in square, rectangular, and circular forms. Their hollow design provides excellent strength-to-weight performance, torsional resistance, and clean architectural and structural aesthetics.
Hollow sections are widely used in construction, fabrication, and engineering applications where load efficiency, dimensional accuracy, and ease of fabrication are required. Common formats include Square Hollow Sections (SHS), Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS), and Circular Hollow Sections (CHS).
Typical Hollow Section Sizes
| Profile | Size Range | Wall Thickness | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| SHS | 20×20 – 400×400 mm | 1.2 – 16 mm | 6m / 12m |
| RHS | 40×20 – 500×300 mm | 1.5 – 16 mm | 6m / 12m |
| CHS | 21.3 – 323.9 mm | 1.2 – 16 mm | 6m / 12m |
