Easy to Install, Cut, Drill, Nail, and Weld

The Advanced Choice for Building with Strength

LiteSteel™ Beam (LSB®) was developed in response to the demand for a light structural beam with the strength of steel but with the workability and ease of installation associated with wood products. When you weigh up the total installed cost of the beams you specify, LSB from LiteSteel Technologies can provide significant time and cost advantages compared to hot rolled structural steel beams and engineered wood.

The innovative, patented cold forming process gives LSB a unique profile with the torsional rigidity you would normally expect from hot rolled steel. It can be carried like a wood beam and can be cut, nailed, screwed, and drilled on site using the same tools you currently use. With thousands of successful installations in Australia, LSB is proven to save installation time and money.

LSB® is Compliant with: IRC Codes of 2006 and 2009, IBC Codes of 2006 and 2009, and the Florida Building Code of 2007

Easy to Install
LSB is easy to install. Standard bolts and self-drilling screws are ideal for fastening LSB. LSB is compatible with a range of standard fittings including cleats, brackets, and joist hangers. Consult the installation guide for recommendations.
Easy to Cut
A handheld circular saw with steel cutting saw blades can cut through LSB as easy as cutting through wood.
Easy to Drill
LSB is easy to drill using standard professional drill guns. Metal cutting step or twist drill bits are ideal. Consult the installation guide for recommendations.
Easy to Nail
With a professional pneumatic nail gun you can nail wood and other building products to LSB. Consult the installation guide for recommendations.
Easy to Weld
Generally the above methods of connection are more convenient than welding. However, if required like other steel structural beams LSB can be welded using manual metal, gas metal or flux cores arc welding.
