Overview of Tee Beams
Steel Tee Beams, though less commonly used in construction than other structural shapes, can offer certain advantages when used correctly.
A Tee Beam is a steel profile that is not typically made at the mill. Mills only produce small sizes. Larger steel tees are produced by splitting beams, most commonly Wide Flange Beams, but occasionally I-Beams.
We Jindalai use a specially made device to cut the web of a beam to produce two tees. Generally, the cut is made down the middle of the beam but it can be cut off center. Once cut, the portion of the beam that was known as the web is now called a stem when discussed as part of a Tee Beam. Because Tee Beams are cut from Wide Flange Beams, we offer them in pairs of galvanized or raw steel.

Advantages of Tee Beams
Reduce the height and weight of the assembly
Easier to bend the beam
Disadvantages of Tee Beams
Lower tensile strength than comparably sized W-Beam
Less resistance to tensile forces when compared to a W-Beam
