Best Custom H20 Timber Beam - High Load Capacity, Lightweight Formwork Support for Construction Projects
Product Overview
The H20 Timber Beam is a high-performance load-bearing component engineered for concrete formwork systems. Featuring a double-web construction and finger-jointed solid wood flanges, it provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for slab, wall, column, and bridge formwork in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
Compared to steel beams, H20 timber beams are lighter, easier to cut on-site, and more cost-effective while maintaining excellent load capacity and durability.
Key Advantages
- Lightweight Design - Only 4.5-5.5 kg per meter; easy manual handling
- High Load Capacity - 11-15 kN bending capacity with minimal deflection
- Long Service Life - Up to 10+ years with proper care and maintenance
- Double-Web Construction - Superior bending and shear resistance
- Water-Resistant Glue Bond - WBP (Water & Boil Proof) for outdoor use
- Easy On-Site Customization - Can be trimmed to required lengths with standard tools
