Tapered flanges, vertical web
I-Beam
An I-beam features tapered top and bottom flanges connected by a vertical web. For the most realistic steel appearance, our I-beams are typically manufactured with 5" or 6" tapered flanges.
Flat parallel flanges, vertical web
H-Beam
An H-beam consists of two flat, parallel flanges connected by a vertical web, forming the shape of the letter "H". H-beams have wider flanges than I-beams for a heavier structural look.
Top chord, bottom chord, web members
Truss
A truss is made up of a top chord, a bottom chord, and an internal web structure. The web can be designed with X or V patterns, and the overall truss can be manufactured in a variety of shapes, including traditional roof trusses.

Top flange, bottom flange, vertical web
U-Channel
A U-channel consists of a top flange, a bottom flange, and a vertical web. Like our beams, U-channels can be custom manufactured in a wide range of sizes and dimensions.
Tapered flanges, vertical web
C-Channel
A C-channel consists of two tapered flanges connected by a vertical web. Our C-channels are typically produced with 2.5" or 3" tapered flanges for an authentic steel appearance.
Top splice plate, side splice plate
Connecting Plate / Splice Plate
Connecting plates, also called splice plates, are decorative covers used to conceal seams on the web and flanges of beams and channels, creating the appearance of a continuous steel member.
