WOODEN I-BEAM FOR FORMWORK (H20 TYPE)
The H20 wooden I-beam for formwork consists of two solid wooden flanges (top and bottom) and a central web made of a three-layer board, all joined together using toothed and glued joints for maximum structural integrity.
These H20 beams are a key element in the construction of horizontal formwork systems. They are characterized by exceptional strength, high load-bearing capacity, dimensional stability, and resistance to deformation.
Manufactured mainly from carefully selected, kiln-dried softwood, the beams are water-resistant, with surfaces coated in synthetic resin, ensuring long service life and durability even under demanding site conditions.
Produced in compliance with EN 13377 standards.
Advantages
-
Dimensional stability and recovery after loading.
-
High load-bearing capacity maintained along the entire beam length.
-
Resistance to moisture, impact, and chipping for extended durability.
-
Lightweight and easy to handle, allowing fast assembly and dismantling.
-
Low weight for convenient manual installation.
-
Perfect compatibility with three-layer formwork panels.
-
Can be cut at any point and supported anywhere along its length, offering flexibility in formwork design.
-
Universal use — suitable for all types of formwork systems.
-
Long service life — when used according to operational recommendations, H20 beams can last for several years with a minimum of 30 reuses.
A standard formwork beam measures 80x40x200 mm, where 80 mm is the shelf width, 40 mm is the shelf thickness, and 200 mm is the total height of the I-beam (for H20). The standard length can range from 2.5 to 5.9 m.
