HEB Europrofile beam

The HEB Europrofile is part of the range of laminated beams used in the construction industry and in various industrial applications.

Features

The main difference between HEA and HEB Europrofiles consists in the shape of the cross section and the specific dimensions. Both terms refer to laminated beams used in construction and in various industrial applications, but they have distinct geometric characteristics and dimensions.

HEB (European Wide Flange Beams) also features an “H” shaped cross section with horizontal flanges and a central vertical wing. However, HEB has specific dimensions and properties that may differ from HEA. Usually, HEB is designed to provide superior strength and stability with respect to horizontal loads and lateral forces.

In summary, the main difference consists in the dimensions and specific characteristics of the cross section, which allow each type of profile to lend itself better to certain structural requirements. HEA is more suitable for vertical loads, while HEB focuses more on resistance to lateral and horizontal forces.

Fields of application

Metal constructions: Europrofile HEB is used to support metal structures in buildings, bridges and industrial installations. It can successfully handle tasks such as those on roofs, floors or bridges.

Civil engineering: The HEB beam is frequently integrated into supporting elements for civil projects, including foundations and load-bearing structures.
