RSJ Beam Types Available

We supply a full range of RSJ variants to accommodate both standard and specialist requirements. Each section is cut to size and can be drilled or painted as specified.

  • block
    Universal Beam (UB)

    Widely used across domestic and commercial construction projects. Supplied in ‘I’ or ‘H’ profiles, UBs offer high strength and are particularly suited to horizontal load-bearing spans.

    • ‘I’ shaped beam but can also be described as ‘H’ Shaped (steel RSJ) beam.
    • Universal Beams are always higher than their width.
    • Sizes range from 127mm high to 915mm high.
    • Dimensions – 1st dimension is always the height – 2nd dimension is always the width – 3rd dimension is always the weight in kilograms per metre.
  • block
    Universal Beam / Column (UC)

    Designed for vertical applications, Universal Columns offer structural integrity for upright supports within steel frameworks. Their compact dimensions make them suitable for tight installations.

    • ‘I’ shaped beam but can also be described as ‘H’ Shaped (steel RSJ) beam.
    • Universal Beams are always higher than their width.
    • Sizes range from 127mm high to 915mm high.
    • Dimensions – 1st dimension is always the height – 2nd dimension is always the width – 3rd dimension is always the weight in kilograms per metre.
  • block
    Parallel Flange Channel (PFC)

    A lighter-weight option commonly used for lintels, edge beams, or perimeter framing. Supplied with straight flange edges for consistent strength and ease of fixing.

    • ‘I’ shaped beam but can also be described as ‘H’ Shaped (steel RSJ) beam.
    • Universal Beams are always higher than their width.
    • Sizes range from 127mm high to 915mm high.
    • Dimensions – 1st dimension is always the height – 2nd dimension is always the width – 3rd dimension is always the weight in kilograms per metre.

Specialist RSJ Configurations

In addition to standard beam profiles, we offer a range of specialist RSJ configurations designed to meet more complex structural requirements. These are commonly specified in bespoke residential, commercial, and industrial builds, and all beams are fabricated to order at our Walsall facility.

Each option below can be supplied with full CAD drawing support and delivered to the site as required.

Single RSJ Beams

Typically used in domestic structural alterations, such as wall removals, bifold door openings, and small extensions. These beams are available in various sizes, with optional drilling or surface finishes.

Double RSJ Beams

Two beams paired and fixed together to increase structural capacity across wider spans or heavier load conditions. Commonly used in loft conversions, floor reinforcements, or when bearing walls are removed.

Crank Beams

Fabricated with a pre-determined angled section (or ‘crank’) to allow for changes in elevation or direction within a single beam. Often used where roof pitches or stairwell openings intersect structural runs.

Spliced RSJs

Joined RSJ sections using splice plates, ideal for projects with restricted access or where manual handling limits single-beam length. This method also facilitates installation in tight urban or residential sites.

RSJs with Welded Plates

Beams fitted with welded connection plates, often used where bolted joints are needed or where additional rigidity is required at fixing points. This is a typical requirement in portal frames or multi-beam assemblies.

T-Beams & Custom Sections

Cut, notched, or profiled to non-standard configurations based on site-specific requirements. Suitable for complex structural steel packages or architectural integrations.

HSFG Bolted Beams

High Strength Friction Grip (HSFG) bolted assemblies are available for specialist connections, offering secure load transfer and compliance with higher-spec commercial or industrial frameworks.

All beams are fabricated to strict tolerances, with optional priming, painting, or drilling available. If required, we can liaise directly with structural engineers or architects to clarify specifications during early-stage design.

RSJ Beam FAQs

What’s the difference between a UB and a UC?

Universal Beams (UBs) are wider than they are tall and primarily used in horizontal applications. Universal Columns (UCs) are more square in profile and are suited to vertical load-bearing.

Do you provide CAD drawings with RSJ orders?

Yes. CAD support is available for RSJ beams upon request. Drawings can be produced from your specifications or coordinated with your structural engineer.

Can RSJs be fabricated with splices or welded plates?

Yes. We regularly fabricate spliced RSJs, crank beams, and welded plate assemblies to suit restricted access or specialised connection needs.

Is there a minimum order size?

No. We accommodate single beam orders as well as larger commercial supply contracts.

Do you offer collection and local delivery?

Yes. We offer same-day collection where possible and next-day delivery across Walsall, Birmingham, and the wider Midlands. National delivery is also available.
