Colorbeam®

The Ideal Beam for Home Improvements

Colorbeam® structural steel beams give you the good looks of timber plus the strength and durability of steel — with the advantage of a low maintenance finish. The streamlined, rectangular profile of Colorbeam® closely resembles the shape of traditional timber beams. But unlike timber, Colorbeam® won't twist, warp or rot and doesn't need painting.

Colorbeam® is manufactured from two C-shaped sections of high-tensile steel, joined to form an extremely strong "box beam" that is also very lightweight. The overlapping sections of the beam provide extra rigidity, allowing longer spans between supports.

Colorbeam® structural steel beams provide an ideal roof framing system for all home improvement applications such as patios, carports and awnings. They are also widely used for institutional shade applications such as covered walkways and lunch areas because of their durable, low-maintenance finish.

A general rule for building with Colorbeam® is that the end of every beam must be secured with a bracket of some type. For Connection details and more information regarding Colorbeam® structural steel beams see Colorbeam® - Roof Beam Span Tables.
