What is the Difference Between a Universal Beam and Column?

Universal columns are mostly used for structures such as columns, and the depth is much smaller than the depth of universal beams.

However, this isn't a disadvantage, as this factor makes them fantastic load bearers. The universal beam is shaped horizontally, and the column is shaped vertically.

How Long can Steel Beams Span?

The amount the steel beam can span will depend on how tall the beam is. The taller the beam, the more they can span due to the greater depth and strength.

However, the maximum span is 75 metres, even without any support. If you would like to find out more information, please contact us here at Thames Steel (Services) Ltd, and we'll be happy to advise you.

What do Steel Beam Sizes Mean?

Steel beams come in different shapes and sizes so that they can meet specific measurements and requirements.

We stock a wide range of different sizes, and we also offer a service where we will cut the steel beams down to the sizes you need. If you would like to find out more about the sizes we have, please give us a call today.

Which is Stronger - H Beam or I beam?

The H beam is stronger than the I beam, as the centre web is much thicker, and the I beam centre web is much thinner.

The H beam also has more parts for balance. However, they are both ideal and beneficial for different structures and purposes.

How do I know What Size Beam I Need?

To work out what size beam you need, you can measure the gap that needs filling, in inches, and then you can purchase a steel beam that fits that category, or get one cut down to size.

If you need some advice for this, please make sure you give us a call, and we'll happily answer any of your queries and questions.
