H-Beams are structural steel sections with a wide flange and thicker web, forming a strong “H” shape. Compared to standard I-beams, H-beams have:

• Wider flanges
• Greater load capacity
• Better stability for vertical and horizontal loads

They are commonly used in:

• Multi-storey buildings
• Warehouses
• Steel columns
• Industrial plants
• Bridges
• Heavy structural frameworks

Because of their balanced design, H-beams perform exceptionally well as columns and main structural supports.
