H20 Solid Timber Beam
- Section 200 × 80 mm nominal H20 profile per EN 13377
- Type Solid timber beam, planed and end-sealed — no steel edge
Solid timber and steel-form H20 beams to EN 13377. Section governs the load, not length.
| Parameter | Values |
|---|---|
| Section | 200 × 80 mm nominal H20 profile per EN 13377 · 200 × 80 mm nominal H20 envelope, with steel edge protection |
| Type | Solid timber beam, planed and end-sealed — no steel edge |
| End sealing | End grain takes up water fastest, and water in the end grain starts a split along the length |
| Load case | The section governs the load, not the length — confirm the section against the drawing |
| Use | Formwork support: wall and slab systems, deck joists, soldier and waler runs · Repeat-use formwork where beams are stripped and re-set many times |
| Standard | EN 13377, prefabricated timber formwork beams |
| Length | Cut to the pour sequence; standard lengths confirmed at quotation |
| Edge | Steel caps take the stripping damage that starts a split in a plain timber beam |
| Limit | The steel protects the edge; it does not add capacity — the load case is still the drawing |
| Web | Timber web behind the steel edge, so the beam stays light enough to set by hand |
