You may need steel beams in Liverpool if you are building a factory or a sturdy dwelling. They are lighter than concrete but often have more strength for loading. The size and shape of the beam is dependent on the purpose it will be used for. Steel beams are not just used in skyscraper construction but are found in barns, factories, houses and many other buildings. The steel beams are very stiff with respect to their cross-sectional area and can support a high load without sagging. If you are building a home of two stories you want to be sure the first floor will comfortably hold the weight of the second floor and the roof. Steel beams are convenient to transport and quick to install. The rest of the structure is usually built around the steel skeleton.
We facilitate the construction of buildings by cutting beams to size. In Liverpool, steel beams are used by many contractors as a way to ensure the building is robust. Historically beams were made of squared timbers but these have a limited lifespan. The beams can also be used as lintels and are stronger and lighter than concrete lintels. The loads carried by beams are transferred to columns, walls or girders. There are different styles of beams such as I beams or H beams which have different strengths in different load directions. One of the strongest beams is a box-shaped beam which can be made by welding or a cylindrical shell or tube.
