Overview
Hot Rolled (HR) Beams, also known as I-Beams or H-Beams, are essential components in structural engineering. They feature a distinctive “I” or “H” cross-section that offers maximum strength with minimal weight, making them ideal for supporting heavy loads in large-scale projects.
At Burhani Hardware Dealers (BHD), we supply high-quality HR Beams manufactured to international standards for structural integrity and long-term performance. These beams are made from hot rolled mild steel, ensuring uniform strength, dimensional accuracy, and excellent weldability.
Whether used in steel structures, bridges, warehouses, or multi-storey buildings, HR Beams provide unmatched strength and stability in demanding construction environments.
