Usage
For use as horizontal members for slab construction or as walers for wall construction.

Advantages

• Lightweight
• Will not rust
• Resilient properties of aluminium and design characteristics minimize site damage
• Strength of beam allows large, unsupported areas of form thus reducing costs involved in labour and support equipment
• Same member for slab construction and as a waler for vertical forming
• Reduction in support equipment and lightweight aluminium A-Beams reduces worker fatigue thus improving productivity
• Financial savings in the long term outweigh initial cost
• A-Beam has high recovery potential whereas timber has to be continually replaced
