In any construction project, it makes sense to ensure that you are using the most durable materials that can ensure longevity and integrity of the structure. The right material will also help the structure fulfil its purpose ; whether it is for commercial or residential use, public roads, private structures, and other applications. With this in mind, it can be hard to go wrong about RSJ steel beams. In fact, we even recommend their use for high-quality construction. Here at Steel and Site, we specialise in designing, fabricating, and installing all kinds of steelwork products, including RSJ beams that are CE marked and built to comply with ISO 9001 quality standards to ensure the safety and reliability of your structures ! Why rolled steel joists? RSJ steel beams are known to provide better structural integrity. For over 25 years, we have been fabricating and erecting these products and we swear by their quality and durability. They will not put your home at risk of collapsin...

In any construction, it makes sense to choose only the durable materials that can ensure a structurally sound result. In that case, rolled steel joist (RSJ) steel beams are an easy choice, especially if you are looking for a stable foundation or support for your structure. RSJ steel beams are also called, ‘H-beam,’ ‘universal beam,’ ‘double-T,’ or ‘I-beam’ due to their shape, which encompasses an H- or I-shaped cross-section. The horizontal elements are called, ‘flanges,’ and the vertical element is the ‘web.’   Their unique design and structure make them suitable for handling any type of load, especially the heavy ones. Steel buildings require RSJ steel beams for reliable support. These materials can serve as the main framework of high-rise structures, too. The durability, stability, and power that I-beams provide may reduce the need to incorporate a lot of support mechanisms. This way, projects could be completed more quickly and cost-effectively. I-beams are ty...

Rolled steel joist beams are typically used in structural steelwork due to their quality, support, and strength. They are notable for their versatility across numerous building applications, too. They often have an ‘H’ or ‘I’ shaped cross-section, which can be fabricated into different standard sizes. Using RSJ beams enable an efficient way to carry the shear and bending loads in the plane of a vertical element or the web. Choosing these products can be daunting, especially if it is your first time using them in your construction project, but here are some tips to make the process of buying RSJ beams easier, while avoiding costly mistakes: Look for an established and reputable steel fabrication company – Make sure it is well-known, with a good track record in providing custom steel products to their clients. Choose a steel fabricator that can make RSJ beams specifically for your application, such as stairs, steel platforms, homes, buildings, racking,...
