I-Beams and
Their Function
I-beams, W-beams and H-beams are all structural steel components with cross-sections that resemble an I-shape. These beams are incredibly popular and typically used throughout manufacturing and construction work.
Favoured for their high strength-to-weight ratio, I-beams have plenty of stability and capacity to bear heavy loads. When building, renovating or reconstructing industrial properties, multi-storey buildings, bridges, and warehouses, I-beams are useful.
At Steel Beams Essex, we create and supply high-quality I-beams for these exact purposes.
Advantages of I-beams
I-beams have many benefits in the world of construction. They are frequently used in commercial structures and are incredibly economical pieces of materials. As they are so lightweight and have a smaller footprint they are also much easier to work with than beams made from other materials. I-beams can handle loads much more evenly and effectively in comparison to different types and they support a span of approximately 33-100 feet.
When you're working on much smaller construction jobs, give us a call at Steel Beams Essex, and we'll supply high-quality I-beams.
I-Beam Supply
Steel Beams Essex offers customers a wide range of I-beams for your construction site or metalwork needs.
Our supply is complete with various types of I-beams, including H-shapes and W-shapes. Discuss with us your size and load-bearing requirements, and we'll do all we can to assist.
Building Structures
If you need I-beams to carry out much larger projects, such as building properties, bridges, transportation, etc.
You'll find that incorporating I-beams will help stabilise the structure and distribute the weight and shear force.
Mechanical Manufacturing
When it comes to manufacturing mechanical products, you may require I-beams to help carry out the job. Two of the most common uses of these beams are for trailer frames and gantry cranes.
These help tackle much smaller tasks. Give us a call today, and we'll provide suitable I-beams for manufacturing.
Standard I-Beams
We offer standard I-beams to builders looking for the perfect beams and components for skyscrapers, bridges, hospitals, parking garages, and many other structures and products.
Standard I-beams handle varying loads and are incredibly multipurpose.
Light I-Beams
These lightweight beams are often used for low-rise structures and building projects. Their wide flanges and web allow them to provide stability and support to any large structure.
It has a lightweight nature, making it a cheaper, more cost-effective option than its counterparts.
Bespoke I-Beams
When you first contact us at Steel Beams Essex, we'll discuss your project and needs. Different structures and products require different beam
We'll provide high-standard, safe-to-use beams that suit your workload and the strength needed.
Difference Between Standard and Light I-Beams
One of the biggest differences between light and standard I-beams is the materials used to process them. Light I-beams are made up of lightweight alloys, such as magnesium and aluminium. To look at, light I-beams have much wider flanges and thinner webs in comparison to standard I-beams.
Light I-beams typically provide much better stability yet ensure the same capacity for load-bearing.
The use of these materials allows us to save money and metal resources. If you're struggling to understand which I-beams would be best for your line of work, call us. We'll explain the options and give you plenty of advice.
