H20 Timber Beam – Lightweight, High-Strength Formwork Solution

Product Overview

The H20 Timber Beam, also known as the H20 wooden I‑beam, wood H‑beam, or wood girder, is an essential load‑bearing component in modern concrete formwork systems. It is widely used in slab formwork, wall formwork, column formwork, hydraulic climbing formwork, bridge construction, and various other structural bearing applications.

Xuzhou Senweida Trading Co., Ltd. offers high‑quality H20 timber beams manufactured from premium imported timber and multi‑layer plywood, engineered to deliver exceptional strength, durability, and reusability. With a lightweight design and superior load‑bearing capacity, our H20 timber beams help construction contractors reduce material costs, improve on‑site efficiency, and achieve faster project cycles.

Key Features

1. Lightweight & High Strength

The H20 timber beam features an I‑section design that combines a solid wood flange with a multi‑layer plywood web-. This structure provides high stiffness and strong load‑carrying capacity while keeping the beam remarkably light – approximately 4.6–5.3 kg per meter – making it easy to handle, transport, and install on site.

2. Excellent Dimensional Stability

Manufactured with precision, the beam maintains excellent linearity and is resistant to deformation under heavy loads. The flange and web are bonded with weather‑resistant phenolic or WBP (Water Boiled Proof) adhesive, ensuring the beam retains its structural integrity even in demanding construction environments.

3. Waterproof & Corrosion‑Resistant Surface

The beam surface is treated with a special waterproof and anti‑corrosion coating (typically yellow) that effectively resists moisture, acid, and alkali exposure. This protective treatment prevents the coating from peeling, significantly extending the beam‘s service life even under harsh outdoor conditions.

4. End Protection for Extended Lifespan

Both ends of the beam are fitted with durable plastic or galvanized steel protective caps. These end caps act as shock absorbers, reducing damage from impact and handling, and effectively sealing the web against moisture and UV radiation. This protection can extend the beam’s lifespan by up to three times compared to unprotected beams.

5. High Reusability & Cost Efficiency

The H20 timber beam is designed for repeated use across multiple construction projects. Its high durability and resistance to wear mean it can be reused year‑round with low amortization costs. By reducing the number of props required and enlarging the span between supports, the beam also expands working space and improves overall construction efficiency.

Technical Specifications

Applications

The H20 timber beam is a versatile component suitable for a wide range of construction formwork systems:

• Slab Formwork Systems – Supporting concrete floor slabs in high‑rise buildings and commercial structures

• Vertical Formwork Systems – Wall formwork, column formwork, and hydraulic climbing formwork

• Bridge & Infrastructure Projects – Viaducts, tunnels, and dam construction

• Variable Arc & Special‑Shaped Formwork – Adaptable to complex architectural designs

• Precast Concrete & Prefabricated Construction – Supporting modular building systems

The beam‘s high rigidity and lightweight nature make it particularly suitable for projects requiring large‑span formwork, where it reduces the number of supporting props and creates more open working areas.
