Technical Superiority: Steel vs. Wood I Beams

Steel I beams carry 3x more weight than wood equivalents. A 10-inch steel joist spans 18 feet without intermediate supports—wood needs 50% more beams for the same span. Fire resistance? Steel withstands 1,700°F for 2 hours (ASTM E119), while wood fails in 45 minutes. Ask yourself: Can your floors survive these tests?

Custom Solutions for Your Unique Needs

We laser-cut beams to 0.1mm precision—perfect for irregular layouts. Choose from 8 standard sizes (6" to 16" depths) or request fully custom profiles. Our 3D modeling software previews your floor system before installation. No more "close enough" compromises!
