Features & Benefits

Our range of aluminium beams consists of 3 versatile, lightweight and durable
beams with an extensive range of accessories.
Strength-to-weight ratio
Far lighter and easier to handle than timber beams.
Unique profiles reduce damage
Bevelled edges allow plywood sheeting to be stripped
quickly and easily.
Increased bending and shear resistance
Allows more weight to be supported across greater spans
with less equipment, saving time and costs.

Consistent cross-section
Eliminates time and cost implications of selecting and handfinishing timber.
Longevity and durability
Aluminium beams can be re-used a number of times and
have a much longer life than timber beams.
Residual value
Even at the end of practical, usable life our aluminium
beams retain around 25% of their original cost.

Uniformity
Unlike timber, aluminium beams are always straight,
simplifying and speeding up assembly.

In Detail
Perfect Partner

Ease of Use

Used along with Superslim

soldiers to assemble large
wall formwork panels.

Stop ends and other complex

configurations are also easily
constructed.

Cost Reduction

Unique Integration

Construction using
aluminium ensures
consistent alignment,
accuracy and structural
integrity, reducing wastage,
assembly time and labour
costs.

A unique wedge clamp

allows primary and
secondary beams to be fixed
together at right-angles in
soffit support applications.

Less Equipment Needed

Lighter, Quicker, Easier

The high bending and shear

resistance of the 150mm
Alform beam - twice that of a
200mm deep timber beam allows longer spans,
supporting greater loads, to
be built with less equipment.

60% lighter than timber

equivalent, so its easier and
quicker to handle, saving
time and costs.
