The main types of beams:

There can be different classes of beams – profiled, glued and rounded.

There are different ways of beams application depending on their classes.

Profiled beam – this is the best option for the construction of a country house. With beam having groves and tongs in a cross section, the construction of the house becomes easier and faster. We can build a house, as it would be made out of the sections of LEGO construction set.

Glued laminated beams are used in the construction of buildings of any design. The glued beam manufacturing technology is quite complicated, so it has a high price.

Rounded beams are used in the construction of residential houses, porches, gazebos, saunas, country houses.

All wooden frames, joists and bases are made of wooden beams.
