Steel Lattice Roof Beams

Since 2012 mlb have been the only independent manufacturer and supplier of the iconic metsec lightweight lattice beam.

Steel lattice roof beams.

Steel trusses are used in conjunction with cold rolled purlins offer a very competitive option to traditional timber trusses. Just give us a call if you need something special. Specialist products to meet specific requirements such as perimeter facade details for modular buildings multiple outbuildings portal framed structures. Lattice beams also allow the passage of services through the lattice s web without any loss of head room or need for exposed pipework which can form a potential dust trap.

Spans of more than 40 metres are achievable and our steel trusses span without the need for intermediate support columns. Although the solid beams have the depth to span advantage they also have a high self weight and often loose out to the lattice beam structures because the open structures provide. The steel lattice beams are intended to support the highest possible loads and bridge the widest spans while the aluminium lattice beam is a lower weight alternative with comparable capacity and often the preferred solution. In the scheme design of uniformly loaded steel beams sections with a span depth ratio of 18 to 20 are typically used i e.

We also offer a selection of galvanized steel beams. Our lightweight quality products include long span steel beams roof beams floor beams green roof systems cantilevers and a wide choice of lattice beam systems. Mlb steel can also customise the finish of long span lattice beams. A traditional steel beam is most appropriately used where the there is limited space available and not enough height available to install the lightweight lattice beam.

Suitable for use with flat roofs or sloping roofs where the lattice beams can be laid to falls. Shop online for standard or cut to size lengths at wholesale steel beam prices. Lattice beams are available in both steel and aluminium lengths ranging from 2 8m and heights from 450mm and 750mm. We deliver our solutions alongside a complete range of support services that are delivered by industry experts and backed by a combined 200 years of experience.

Lattice beams lightweight steel lattice beams for flat roof applications available fully or partially manufactured to suit site conditions. For a span of 8 m the steel beam will be approximately 450 mm deep. The shapes of hot rolled profiles are designed to achieve optimum bending properties for the use of steel. Beams are designed to resist bending moments and shear forces.

Our unique metsec lattice primary members together with z or c section secondary members to provide a cost effective solution to ceiling service support requirements.
