Sharp-cornered steel profiles such as rectangular and square tubing are increasing in popularity across both the industrial and architectural landscape. Due to this consistent climb, Stainless Structurals implemented the production of hollow structural steel at our Conroe, Texas facility just a few short years ago. Since putting this into action, there has been a steady…
Stainless Steel is increasing in popularity as the material of choice for many projects involving the architecture, engineering and construction industries. Industrial applications with critical requirements of structural integrity and corrosion resistance are perfect for many stainless steel alloys. Stainless Structurals America has recognized the need for structural shapes and is now offering custom stainless…
One of the popular trends in modern design is that of sharp corners, clean lines and exposed structures.

Architectural Bollards can serve several purposes. Two of the most common are for accessibility as well as aesthetics. One recent job in New York City required stainless steel bollards to serve both of these functions which was a perfect fit for laser-fused stainless tubing.
ASTM International just recently published the new revised standard A1069/A1069M-19. This is the standard specification for laser and laser hybrid welded stainless steel bars, plates and shapes. This revision provides some distinct advantages to engineers and architects for when they specify A1069 for their projects.
