Q: Is LVL more affordable than steel I-beams?

• <div><p>Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-steel-i-beam-cost.htm">cost of a steel I-beam</a>, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you&rsquo;d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it&rsquo;s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn&rsquo;t require as much retrofitting to connect joists. </p></div>

Q: Why should I pick steel I-beams?

• <div><p>Steel I-beams are an increasingly popular choice for supporting a structure because they support a large amount of weight with a small profile and without the need for load-bearing walls or supports underneath. This allows for more open floor plans, which most people tend to prefer. They also resist fire, pests, and rot and last for the lifetime of your home.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a lintel and a beam?

• <div><p>The difference between a lintel and a beam is what loads each is responsible for supporting. A lintel is a type of beam that is responsible only for supporting the load above an opening, such as a window or door, and transfers the weight to the side walls around an opening. A beam supports the slab and transfers the load to nearby columns, which then disperse the load to the ground.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect fabrication costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material type, labor, design complexity, finishing requirements, and installation needs.</p></div>

Q: Do I need an LVL beam?

• <div><p>Beams made out of traditional lumber can often only span 8 to 12 feet without requiring vertical supports, so if you want a wider opening to create a more open floor plan, you might need an LVL beam. LVL beams can span up to around 30 feet without the need for load-bearing walls or vertical supports underneath, making them a better option for keeping your home as open and airy as possible. </p></div>

I hired Flux Tech for a custom metal project and couldn't be happier with the results. The quality of the welds was top-notch — clean, precise, and incredibly strong. They were professional, punctual, and took the time to explain the process and materials they were using. What really stood out...
