I Beams for Structural Strength

Steel I Beams are a fundamental component in modern construction, offering unmatched strength and durability for supporting heavy loads. At Doerksen Metal Components, we provide high-quality steel beams that ensure structural integrity in commercial, industrial, and residential projects.

What Are I Beams?

I Beams, also known as steel beams, are named for their distinctive “I” shape, which provides superior load-bearing support when used horizontally or as vertical columns. These beams are essential in construction due to their ability to handle significant weight while minimizing structural material usage. They are used in building frameworks, bridges, trailers, platforms, and more.

Types of Steel I Beams

Wide Flange Steel Beam (H Beam or W Beam)

The Wide Flange Beam, also called an H Beam or W Beam, features non-tapered flanges that provide enhanced horizontal strength. Its broad profile makes it ideal for applications requiring superior load distribution, such as:

• Large-scale buildings
• House beams for additional structural reinforcement
• Bridge beams
• Industrial platforms and heavy-duty structures

Standard American Beams (S Beam or Junior Beam)

Standard American Beams, also known as S Beams or Junior Beams, feature tapered flanges, making them well-suited for applications where the load is concentrated on the flanges. Common uses include:

• Machine bases
• Hoists and crane structures
• Trolley beams for garages
• Structural supports in industrial environments
