I-beam Wooden Beams VIRMAK
VIRMAK produces glued, jointed wooden structures for various purposes; girders, foundations (rostverks), posts (columns), floor joists (I-beams) and more.
Such structures (products) are manufactured from dry calibrated lumber, moisture-resistant plywood, and LVL.
Only we produce I-beams with plywood in the core for interfloor floor joists for any type of house.
Wooden I-beam BDK-1
The wooden I-beam BDK- is a classic I-beam that has “flanges” made of solid wood, into which grooves are milled, and a plywood web placed in those grooves. In addition, it is a stable, lightweight and durable material.
It is used to reinforce structures during formwork installation or for spanning walls. The BDK has a bottom and top flange, which allows it to withstand various types of loads well. These beams have an increased moment of inertia. The timber has a rectangular or square shape, which increases the beam’s resistance to bending loads. Wherever any deformation of the floor must be avoided, wooden beams are indispensable. In addition, their use significantly reduces the overall cost of work.

Features of Wooden BDK Beams
The I-beam is a standard construction element made from structural components, whose cross-section resembles the letter “H” and significantly exceeds the strength of a square of the same cross-sectional area.
Alongside the traditional steel I-beam, whose applications include building floors and bridges, there is the wooden I-beam, widely used in timber frame construction. The popularity of the BDK beam is due to a number of advantages over equivalents made from other materials and constructions.
While providing sufficient strength, due to its relatively low weight the wooden I-beam can be used in structures with any type of load-bearing walls, is ergonomic because of its thermal, moisture and sound insulation properties, is not prone to deformation, and can be installed without lifting equipment. Another significant factor is the low price. Using BDK for floor formwork allows you to significantly reduce the cost and time of construction work, and to ensure their efficiency and quality with minimal labor costs.
Advantages of Using BDK Beams as Floor Joists in House Construction
Do not change their geometry under the influence of moisture and temperature differences
Long service life
Using I-beams as interfloor joists helps not only to save budget, but also to carry out faster and higher-quality installation
We also offer delivery assistance to any point in the country (THROUGHOUT RUSSIA)
We provide free calculations of floor frame layouts. If necessary, we can perform installation.
Cutting lumber to the required cross-section.
Removal of defects (loose knots), gluing and splicing of the wood for the flanges of the future beam. Shaping the flanges to the required cross-section.
Cutting BSF plywood into strips to make the future beam web. Splicing and milling the edges of the plywood.
Gluing and pressing the beam blanks.
