Steel beams and girders
Steel girder advantages
What is a girder, and why use a structural steel girder? A girder, or a girder beam, is basically the main support beam, that supports joists, and transfers the load from joists to structural walls, or steel columns, depending on the construction of the house.
There are advantages to using steel girders, compared to wooden girders.
- Steel girders will give you decades of reliable support
- Steel girder beam is compatible with wooden and steel joists
- A steel girder is impervious to mold, fungus, rodents, termites, you name it
For a structural steel beam to become a girder, a large horizontal support beam that supports smaller beams, it has to go through the process of manufacturing and fabrication. But, first, you’ve got to buy raw fabrication structural steel materials to fabricate from. And, if you find yourself searching for a “steel girder beam near me”, means you are determined to get them. Here’s our expert’s advice on how to both get a high-quality steel girder beam and save money doing it, read on!
Saving on steel beams
Getting hold of raw steel beam materials for fabrication can be tricky, and involve some extra expenses.
- The main thing to remember here is that small fabrication shops often don’t have a wide variety of steel beams for girder fabrication readily available. Not all beams can become girder beams, since a girder is the main beam, supporting the weight of joists, floor, and inhabitants of the house, so it has to be sturdy enough to do so. Yet, it shouldn’t be too heavy for the task, so it’s better if your girder supplier has a choice of I beam to fabricate from.
- The other thing is that the price of steel beams for girder fabrication can vary considerably, depending on the supply line of the structural steel supplier you decide to work with. There’s always some extra you are paying them, naturally. But, you don’t really have to!
Structural steel fabricators work hard to deliver quality structural steel members and of course, their work costs money. Structural Beam’s fabrication workshop is a well-equipped professional workshop, that allows achieving high-quality fabricated steel girders, without waste of materials and time, thus the overall cost of the fabricated steel girder beam you buy from us is lower, and quality higher, a true win-win situation.
