H20 Timber Beam Formwork Lightweight I Section for Fast Assembly
Product Overview
The H20 Timber Beam is an engineered wood I-beam designed as the primary support structure for heavy-duty slab, wall, and bridge formwork. It combines solid timber flanges with a multi-layer plywood web to deliver high load capacity with significantly lighter weight than steel, making it ideal for projects requiring manual handling and fast setup.
Features & Functions
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Weighing only ~5 kg/m, it is light enough for two workers to handle easily, reducing crane dependency and speeding up assembly on site.
- Engineered I-Beam Design: The optimized profile (200mm height) provides excellent bending resistance and stiffness, minimizing deflection under heavy wet concrete loads for a flat soffit finish.
- Nail-Holding & Adaptability: The solid timber flanges allow nailing anywhere along the beam, enabling flexible attachment of plywood sheathing and easy integration with various secondary beam layouts.
- All-Weather Durability: Treated with waterproof yellow paint and sealed end-caps, the beam resists moisture absorption and warping, ensuring dimensional stability across multiple reuses.
