Benefits of using I-beams
The advantages to using I-beams rather than traditional materials are:
- Less waste with light, straight, and long lengths.
- Good project planning and logistics with cut-to-size products.
- Customised – I-beams are adapted to your requirements for length, mitre cutting, insulation, hole cutting etc. We prepare as much as possible, thus saving time on the building site.
- Light weight – easier to handle when installing.
- Longer beams.
- Straight and no shrinkage – glued components give minimal warping and shrinkage, even in long lengths and damp conditions.
- More stable – eliminates ‘squeaky floors’ when installed correctly.
- Installation-friendly – installations are easily accommodated by means of flexible and quick hole cutting in the web. Beams can also be supplied ready-drilled, saving time and money on the building site and providing faster installation.
- Energy savings – few cold bridges, well-insulated, and no draughts.
- Fire Safe ‐ 30- and 60-minute fire certificate.
- Good acoustics.
- Order is cut ready for each order with a detailed layout drawing.
- Keenly priced.
- Made from fully sustainable resources.
Full usage instructions are included and technical advice is readily available from our support team who are just a call away.
I-beams also have clear environmental and energy benefits and are well known for being lightweight, strong and straight. Carvers Timber Engineering are accredited for timber chain of custody by PEFC.
