Light beam, I-beam or masonite beam is a beam consisting of solid flanges and a web of a 10 mm thick OSB or chipboard.
The joist hangers are adapted to fasten the light beams both with and without web reinforcements.
The joist hangers are available in two different models, S-I and I-I. S-I stands for “Solid - I-beam” which are developed for when you have a solid primary beam and I-beam as secondary. The upper tabs on the S-I can easily be bent up so that they become straight if you want to attach the beam shoe in the middle of a secondary beam and not line the upper edge.
Model I-I stands for “I-beam - I-beam”, which means that there is an I-beam both as primary and secondary. I-I must enclose the primary beam of I-beam both above and below and therefore requires that primary and secondary are of the same height (but not the same width).
