High‑strength Universal Beams for structural construction. Ideal for floor beams, lintels, roof supports & commercial frameworks. Durable, precise and available Australia‑wide.

1) What are Universal Beams used for?

Universal Beams are used for horizontal load‑bearing applications, including floor beams, roof beams, lintels, mezzanines, and major structural frameworks.

2) How do Universal Beams differ from Universal Columns?

• UB: Wider flanges relative to depth, optimised for bending resistance in horizontal applications.
• UC: Equal-width flanges, designed for maximum strength in vertical compression loads.

3) Are Universal Beams suitable for outdoor or coastal use?

Yes. Choose hot‑dip galvanised or painted coatings to protect the steel from corrosion in outdoor, coastal, or high‑moisture environments.

4) Can Universal Beams be cut or fabricated on‑site?

Absolutely. Universal Beams can be welded, bolted, drilled, cut, and customised for structural connections and fabrication work.

5) How do I choose the right UB size for my project?

Selection depends on:

1. Span length
2. Load requirements
3. Deflection limits
4. Engineering or architectural specifications
