truSPAN is made from light gauge, cold forged steel - powerful, lightweight, and can be handled with the same tools used with wooden beams. Building with steel was never easier
Metwood’s internally reinforced structural steel beams are smaller, lighter, and more versatile than any product of similar strength. The Light Gauge steel construction enables truSPAN beams to be cut with typical onsite power tools, and screwed in place with self-tapping screws – that means no welding required. They are ideal for ICF home construction - fire, pest, and mold resistant, and able to support longer spans wiith fewer numbers of supports.
Our truSPAN steel beams can be ordered to stock specs or custom made to meet certain load and design criteria. The possibilities are endless: truSPAN Beams are available in two, three and four ply configurations with internal reinforcing designed to match your load requirements. truSPAN can even be fabricated with camber to offset deflection. In some cases, unsupported spans of up to 50 feet can be achieved by using three or four ply cambered truSPAN beams.
All of this is possible while maximizing vertical space by using steel beams that feature a higher strength to weight ratio than their wood counterparts. The convenience of wood joists (light, easy to trim and position) with the strength of reinforced structural steel. Our product will revolutionize your projects and improve your bottom line.
