DELTABEAM® leads the way to optimizing the potential of different materials

Different materials have different properties and characteristics. Warm, welcoming wood, sleek steel, or raw, industrial concrete – by combining the three, we get the best out of each, and DELTABEAM® is at the heart of the solution.

Slim floors and superior benefits with DELTABEAM®

DELTABEAM® Composite Beam allows combining renewable and ecological timber with two of the strongest materials, steel and concrete. DELTABEAM® is an excellent solution for creating a slim floor structure with timber slabs, which is generally not possible for traditional timber structures on long spans. Typically, the DELTABEAM® timber composite solution reduces total floor thickness between 10 to 30 percent.

DELTABEAM® composite action between concrete and steel allows long spans that create open spaces with minimum columns. The beams are integrated in the slabs, which guarantees architectural freedom. Smooth ceilings enable additional room height and easier technical installations. Additionally, fireproofing is already integrated into DELTABEAM®, eliminating the need for a complex fire painting on-site.

DELTABEAM® Green with timber floors – the more sustainable hybrid solution

DELTABEAM® Green matches perfectly with the sustainable impact of ecological timber floors, as they are made with 90% recycled steel. The environmental impact of DELTABEAM® Green has been reduced significantly compared to traditional steel structures. The environmental impacts are confirmed by EPD, and the carbon footprint is minimized in combination with timber floors.

Since 1989 DELTABEAM® Composite Beams have been used in thousands of buildings globally. DELTABEAM® Composite Beams have been subjected to a rigorous testing program and the solution is widely approved in various countries. Peikko technical support is always available to help you to find the most suitable solution for your project.

Optimal outcomes with DELTABEAM®: inspiring spaces for education and learning

DELTABEAM® Slim Floor Structure is a solution that enables designing and building large, open spaces with long spans and smooth ceilings. Educational buildings such as schools and kindergartens need to be safe, inspiring, and filled with natural light. Added value comes from using sustainable solutions and considering change and different long-term needs. A hybrid structure such as DELTABEAM® Composite Beam with timber slabs ticks all the boxes for an optimal outcome.

Safe, sustainable and energy-efficient school buildings

One of the most significant impacts of DELTABEAM® is how it contributes to making buildings more sustainable through its ability to make floors slimmer. Slim floor buildings require less cladding for the same usable interior volume, which in turn reduces heating and cooling energy consumption. Moreover, the reinforcement inside the beam ensures integrated and non-toxic fireproofing, which offers additional savings and improves the safety of the building.
