Boxspan Beams

Boxspan® is a roll formed beam manufactured from two interlocked “C” shaped sections of  high tensile, zinc coated steel, which provide a rectangular profile resembling traditional timber. 

Unlike timber, the high-tensile steel and hollow section produces a strong and long spanning beam, which will not twist or sag with time. This unique system provides the benefits of a full protective zinc coating on the inside and outside of the beam.

Boxspan® has the unique qualities of having a double thickness flange and a single thickness web that effectively puts the strength where it needs to be. The beam is strong, easy to use and has high torsional stability, unlike some other steel profiles.

Boxspan is manufactured in a range sizes from 100 x 50 mm to 250 x 50 mm, ensuring that an  economical beam selection can be obtained for each project.

The beams are produced to controlled tolerances to the required length up to 12m or can be easily cut on site if necessary. The extensive range of brackets and accessories available with Boxspan makes it easy to use and a simple substitute for timber.

The Benefits of using Boxspan 

• Minimal maintenance, galvanized inside and out.
• Rolled to exact lengths, minimal waste produced.
• Won’t rot, twist or shrink, steel is a stable, durable product that is not permanently affected by the environment.
• Straight and true to size, manufactured to tight tolerances.
• Termites won’t eat it, will not attract or harbor termites and no on-going chemical treatments required.
• Lightweight, the efficient use of steel allows a strong beam to be produced from thin steel sheet.
• Easy to install, an extensive range of brackets ensures easy fixing in a large range of applications.
• Non-combustible, steel is a non-flammable material and ideal for construction in bushfire prone areas.
