H20 Timber Beams for Concrete Construction Formwork Support
Product Introduction
H20 Timber Beam is a standardized engineered wood I-beam specially designed for modern concrete formwork systems. Fully compliant with EN 13377 European construction standard, it serves as the core supporting structure for slab, wall, column, and bridge formwork.
Manufactured with imported solid spruce/pine finger-jointed flanges and waterproof plywood webs, COTEC H20 timber beams eliminate the natural defects of ordinary solid wood. Featuring lightweight, ultra-high rigidity, stable structure and long service life, they have become the mainstream replacement for traditional wooden battens and crude steel supports in global construction projects.

►Basement, underground parking and water conservancy projects
►Industrial factory buildings, shopping mall podium structures
►Complex special-shaped formwork construction
✅ High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
The optimized H-shaped I-beam structure provides outstanding bearing capacity while maintaining low self-weight. Workers can easily lift, cut and install beams on site, greatly improving construction speed and reducing labor costs.
✅ Excellent Structural Stability
Cross-laminated web and integrated finger-jointed flange technology ensure uniform internal stress. The beams resist bending, twisting and deformation under heavy concrete pressure, maintaining perfect flatness during repeated pouring.
✅ Super Waterproof & Moisture Resistance
Adopts industrial-grade phenolic waterproof glue and high-temperature pressing technology. The surface is treated with waterproof and anti-corrosion coating, adapting to humid outdoor, basement and tunnel construction environments without delamination or cracking.
✅ Extremely High Reusability
With premium raw materials and precise craftsmanship, COTEC H20 timber beams can be reused 80–120 times under normal construction maintenance. It effectively reduces material replacement frequency and lowers overall project investment.
✅ Perfect System Compatibility
Standard dimensional tolerance ensures full compatibility with film faced plywood, steel props, formwork clamps and all standard European formwork systems. Suitable for flat slabs, walls, columns, stair openings and special-shaped formwork layout.
✅ Safe & Eco-Friendly
High structural rigidity greatly reduces formwork collapse risks during high-altitude and large-span construction. Engineered wood structure optimizes log utilization, meeting global green building and sustainable construction standards.
