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. 3
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. 4
