What are IPR beams?

Uses of IPR Beams

They are used as columns and beams, and can be connected to each other or to other materials either by welding or screws. In projects such as warehouses, industrial buildings or bridges, the combination with profiles such as flat bar ensures greater strength and structural stability.

Characteristics of IPR beams

The material in question, in addition to its high resistance, has other notable characteristics. On the one hand, its versatility allows it to be cut to size according to the specific needs of each project. This is especially useful in the construction industry, where it is necessary to adapt materials to the required dimensions and shapes.

On the other hand, their ability to come together without affecting their function is a highly valued quality in various sectors. This means it can be joined efficiently and securely, without compromising its strength or structural integrity. This feature is especially relevant in applications where a solid and durable joint is required.

Compared to other materials such as wooden beams or concrete, it has high resistance.

The qualities in which this material is sold are ASTM A36, A572 GR50 and A592.

Thanks to the fact that it is manufactured under the ASTM standard, which guarantees high ductility, it also provides the capacity for mechanical resistance and a high level of quality.

Their lengths range from 6.10 m to 12.20 m.

There are various sizes and weights, some of the most popular are super light beams, light beams, medium beams, jumbo beams, among others.

As we mentioned, this material can be combined with other examples of these can be: logs in its various forms, channels, steel, corrugated sheet, steel tiles, among others.

Advantages of IPR Beams

• IPR beams have the ability not to deform when moving, which makes them an ideal material for building in seismic zones.
• The various qualities of the buildings or projects guarantee greater stability and resistance to natural disasters such as hurricanes. These qualities include the use of high-quality and durable construction materials, such as reinforced steel and reinforced concrete, which are capable of withstanding strong winds and seismic movements.
• They require little maintenance and have a high capacity for deterioration.
• Thanks to its diversity of sizes, it allows it to adapt to different types of constructions.
• In addition to its great support capacity, as we have already mentioned, it has a high rigidity capacity, as well as flexibility and uniformity.
• Thanks to its shape, it facilitates assembly and installation capacity.
• It is a material that can be reused without any problem and without affecting its functions.
• It is a very sustainable material, since it can be recycled up to 100%, this is something that does not happen with materials like concrete.
• They can be very versatile because thanks to their design they can also be used for the construction of homes. Its design gives an elegant and modern appearance to projects, providing great visual appeal when combined with wooden floors, windows, partitions, among others.
• Their use allows those who use them to design any style, from minimalist, modern to something more traditional.
