New product highlight- light gauge structural steel beam

LiteSteel Beam (LSB) is easy to carry and install.
New product watch. The LiteSteel beam (LSB) can be carried like a wood beam and can be cut, nailed, screwed, and drilled on site with no special tools. No heavy steel or glu-lam beams to carry. Cut to length on site. LSB from LiteSteel Technologies can provide significant time and cost advantages compared to hot rolled structural steel beams and engineered wood. The innovative, patented cold forming process gives LSB a unique profile with the torsional rigidity you would normally expect from hot rolled steel. LSB has design software to size beams.

LSB's are approved for use with 2006 and 2009 International Building Code, and the 2006 and 2009 International Residential Code. Compliance Research Report (CCRR#0123)
