New column shoe makes it easier for carpenters
We are pleased to launch a new product group to our already wide range of construction fittings, beam shoes for lightweight beams.
Light beam, I-beam or masonite beam, yes dear child has many names, is a beam consisting of solid flanges and a web of a 10 mm thick OSB or chipboard. This saves up to 47% of raw materials compared to solid beams and joists, which is good for reducing our environmental impact. It also means that the beams are much lighter and contribute to a better working environment without compromising on quality and strength.
The column shoe are available in two different models S-I and I-I
S-I stands for “Solid – I-beam” whatever adapted for when you have a solid primary beam and I-beam as secondary. The upper tabs on the S-I can easily be bent up so that they become straight if you want to attach the beam shoe in the middle of a secondary beam and not line the top edge.
Model I-I stands for “I-beam – I-beam”, which means that it is I-beam both as primary and secondary. I-I must enclose the primary beam of I-beam both above and below and therefore requires that primary and secondary are of the same height (but not the same width).
Here you can read more and our new beam shoes, find calculation documents, etc.
