6.5" Aluminum Beam with Plastic Strip Inserted
For decades, the 6.5" aluma style aluminum I-Beam has been the industry workhorse. Its strength and light weight make for an ideal working combination. When compared to wood, aluminum reduces the total number of horizontal and vertical members required on the job. Because it is lighter than steel, the contractor gains labour productivity through ease of use.
Extruded aluminum I-beams material grade: T6061, they are suitable for all structural applications where higher strength is required.
The I-Beam includes a 2" x 2" plastic nailer strip that is designed to provide nail gripping properties similar to wood and will not become soft in hot weather, brittle in cold weather, or crack in extreme cold. Plastic nailers are much more durable than wood nailers and can withstand repeated use because plastic self-heals after fastener removal.
Lengths of aluminum beams are available in :
6.5" x 8'
