Overview
Universal Columns, commonly known as “UC’s” or “H beams” because of their shape, have a width and depth that are very similar. The column’s more square-shaped dimensions make them ideal for column applications where strength must be alike in both directions and prevents twisting.
Universal Columns are a key component for any major support or structural stability in building construction. They are also favoured in the building profession as steel lintels.
