Roof Beam

Product Description

•  or trusses, preventing them from spreading apart under load. Tie beams are commonly used in roof structures to enhance stability.

1. Hip Beam: Located at the intersection of two sloping roof sections, hip beams provide support to the converging rafters, ensuring structural integrity at the roof's corners.

2. Valley Beam: Installed where two roof sections meet to form a valley, these beams support the inward-angled rafters and help manage the additional loads in these areas.

Design Considerations:

When designing roof beams, factors such as span length, load-bearing requirements, material selection, and environmental conditions must be considered. Proper analysis ensures that the beams can adequately support anticipated loads, including the weight of the roof itself, snow, wind, and other environmental forces. 

Consulting with a structural engineer is recommended to determine the appropriate type and specifications of roof beams for a specific project, ensuring safety and compliance with building codes.
