What Is H20 Beam?

H20 Beam (H20 Timber I-Beam)


Core Definition:A high-performance structural formwork beam for construction, with a standard height of 200mm (the origin of "H20"), composed of solid wood/LVL flanges (top/bottom) and plywood/LVL web (middle), bonded by high-strength adhesive. It’s the most widely used timber I-beam in global construction formwork, suitable for various concrete formwork support systems.


Core Standard Specifications (Global Universal)


Parameter Standard Value Optional Value
Height 200mm -
Flange Width 60mm 50mm/70mm
Web Thickness 27mm 30mm (reinforced)
Length 2.0m-6.0m Custom 1.5m/7.0m (per request)
Flange Material LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) Solid pine/spruce
Web Adhesive WBP Phenolic Glue (D4 grade) - (mandatory for construction)
Bending Strength ≥45 N/mm² -
Density 600-650 kg/m³ -


Key Advantages 


  1. High Strength-to-Weight Ratio:Light weight (easier for on-site handling) with excellent load-bearing capacity, reduces labor and construction time.

  2. Stable Performance:Anti-warping, anti-deformation, uniform mechanical properties (no obvious wood defects).

  3. Water/Moisture Resistant:WBP phenolic glue and surface treatment adapt to wet construction site environments.

  4. High Reusability:Main configurations can be reused 10-20 times, lower long-term construction costs.

  5. Easy Assembly:Compatible with standard formwork accessories (props, connectors, brackets), flexible for various formwork systems.

  6. Eco-friendly:Made of renewable wood materials, compliant with EU/US environmental standards.


Main Application Scenarios


  • Concrete formwork support for residential buildings, high-rises, factories

  • Slab, beam, column formwork in municipal projects, bridges, basements

  • Temporary support structures for prefabricated construction, large-span projects

  • Custom formwork systems for industrial and commercial construction

Core Configuration Options (Overseas Hot Sales)


Based on global market demand, the 3 mainstream configurations for H20 Beam (sorted by order volume):
  1. Standard Version:LVL flanges + 3-ply WBP plywood web (27mm) - 90% of overseas orders, high cost-performance, industry universal standard.

  2. High-End Version:LVL flanges + LVL web (27/30mm) - for heavy load/long-term use, recommended for professional contractors.

  3. Reinforced Version:LVL flanges + 5/7-ply WBP plywood web (30mm) - balanced performance & cost, for medium-heavy load projects.

Not Recommended for Overseas Formal Orders:Flanges + Particle board web (only for light load/dry temporary projects, low market demand).


  • Compliant with EN 13377 (European standard) and ASTM (US standard) - meet global construction material certification requirements.

  • Customizable length/accessories (e.g., pre-drilled holes, metal end caps) - support OEM/ODM for clients.

  • One-stop matching with formwork accessories (props, U-heads, clamps) - save clients’ procurement time.
