MS Flat Bars
MS Flat Bars — MS Flat Bars are rectangular-cross-section mild steel bars used for fabrication, framing, and general metalwork. In Kenya they are a universal workshop consumable — essential for gate frames, window grills, bracket fabrication, stiffener strips, and virtually every kind of light steel fabrication.
HR Channel
HR Channel — HR Channel is a hot-rolled structural steel section with a U or C-shaped profile used for beams, columns, bracing, and industrial fabrication. In Kenya, HR Channel is specified for warehouse framing, industrial plant support, vehicle chassis, and fabricated structural connections where flanged support is required.
HR Beams
HR Beams — HR Beams are hot-rolled structural steel I-beams and H-beams used as primary load-bearing members in commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction. In Kenya they are the backbone of multi-storey buildings, warehouses, factories, and bridges — delivering maximum strength-to-weight efficiency for spanning and column applications.
RECTANGULAR HOLLOW SECTION (RHS)
RECTANGULAR HOLLOW SECTION (RHS) — Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) is a welded rectangular steel tube used for structural beams, columns, window frames, and architectural fabrications. In Kenya, RHS is specified for applications where unequal strength in two directions is required — such as beams in bending and wide-span frames.
