Profile section dimensions of profiled beam: how to choose

Construction of houses from a bar involves the use of this material at all stages of installation. It is used to create load-bearing walls, interior partitions, in the form of floor beams, as well as for the manufacture of rafters. It should be noted that the dimensions of the section of the profile of the profiled beam in each application are different and are selected in accordance with the purpose.

Section size and scope

Many novice builders believe that before building a house it is enough to order one type of this material for all stages of installation. However, this opinion is quite erroneous, since a certain square bar has a mass of 40 kg, and another type of similar products may weigh less.

Therefore, to create a roof it is better to use lightweight material, and for load-bearing walls a powerful timber, which also affects the cost of the final product.

Conclusion

In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic. Also based on the text that is presented above, we can conclude that for different types of work, timber with a specific cross-section should be used. In this case, not only the technical characteristics of the building, but also its final cost may depend on the choice (find out here what a profiled bar is: types and advantages of the material).
