Universal Beams
and Their Uses
Universal beams are most frequently used throughout the construction industry. For example, they help support the materials or internal walls of new-build properties and are useful for renovating old buildings.
When residential or commercial clients are looking to have load-bearing walls removed from their property, these beams are the most suitable to replace the support needed.
If this job is neglected, the whole structure may collapse. Universal beams help build bridges and various other structures, like columns; they also help hold panels and frames in place.

Universal Beams Essex
Universal beams are made up of two flanges, which are long-drawn-out steel planes, and these are connected by a perpendicular component, commonly known as a web.
These webs can be formed into cross-sections that typically form the letter I or H. On the other hand, Universal beams can also be made up of low alloy steels or aluminium. They are fabricated using hot rolling steel slabs or rectangular billets.
During the process, they are passed through numerous rollers to create the desired shape or cross-section. Another method our fabricators use is welding together steel plates to create the I shape.
We fabricate high-quality Universal beams suitable for all construction needs and requirements.
How Do Universal Beams (UB) Differ From I-Beams
When it comes to steel beams, many confuse Universal Beams and I-Beams. The most significant difference between these beams is that they have various cross-sectional shapes. UBs are defined by their H-shaped outline. This shape is very versatile and offers reliable lifting capacity.
Alternatively, I-beams have an I-shaped cross-section, and this is useful for obtaining optimum strength and weight. I-beams are best for applications that require long spans of heavy loads.
Both types of beams offer plenty of support for structures and construction projects. At Steel Beams Essex, we have various steel beams on offer. From universal beams to I-beams, there's always something that is bound to help by providing the right amount of support and weight distribution. Call us today for more information.
