Structural steel beams, also known as Universal Beams (UB), I-beams, H-beams, or RSJs, are the backbone of many building projects, providing critical load-bearing support.

Edcon Steel offers these beams in premium hot-rolled Grade 300+ steel, ensuring high strength and compliance with Australian standards. Our structural beams can be custom-cut to your required length, and we provide options for protective coatings like priming or hot-dip galvanising for durability.

These versatile beams are used across residential, commercial, and industrial construction, delivering the rigidity and reliability needed for safe structures.

Common Uses and Sectors: Structural Steel Beams

Structural steel beams are ubiquitous in construction and can be used anywhere a strong horizontal support is needed. In home building and renovations, steel beams often serve as floor bearers, strutting beams, verandah supports, lintels above wide openings, or even roof rafters. They allow for open-plan layouts and support additional storeys in residential projects. In larger commercial and industrial builds, structural beams form the skeletal frameworks of warehouses, offices, and factories and support infrastructure like bridges and mezzanines.

A wide range of industries rely on structural steel beams. Edcon Steel has supplied beams for residential housing developments, retail and education buildings, and heavy industries like mining and defence projects. Builders and engineers appreciate the high strength-to-weight ratio of steel beams, which ensures safety and stability in multi-storey constructions and long-span structures. Structural beams provide the robust support needed to get the job done, from home DIY projects to large infrastructure works.

Great business to deal with. They are happy to cut me whatever short lengths I need and post or courier to me out in the middle of nowhere. AAA+++

Edcon Steel is a convenient, transparent way to buy steel. They have a wide range of alloys and sizes. For the needs of Plithos Renewables, Stainless Steel 316 was the go-to and parts could be cut to length. It is very easy to do business with Edcon Steel.

Competitive pricing, great customer service by ALL staff members, return claims handled professionally without any 'Ifs' or 'buts'. Very friendly. They are raising the bar to a new standard in Australian retail customer service.
