Flitch Beams

Pryda Flitch Beams are a strong and reliable structural option that combine the benefits of timber and steel into one engineered beam. They are built by placing a steel plate between two timber members and securing it with Pryda connectors. This creates a beam that offers the natural workability of timber while adding the extra strength and stiffness of steel.

Beam Application

These beams are often used where longer spans are required or where higher loads need to be supported, such as in large openings, renovations, or areas where space is limited but strength is essential. Pryda Flitch Beams are designed to fit into standard building and framing methods, making them a practical choice for both residential and commercial projects. They provide consistent performance, reduce beam depth compared to all timber alternatives, and allow builders to achieve a tidy finish that still delivers strong structural support.

Advantages:

• Timber and steel combined for extra strength
• Longer spans with less beam depth
• Works with standard framing methods
• Easier to install than full steel
• Cleaner finish
• Helps support wide openings and heavier loads
