What's new

Our full range of sections manufactured for the UK market will be CE marked to demonstrate compliance with CPD and will have the Advance mark rolled into them for ease of identification and traceability.

21 additional beams and columns have been added to the standard Corus UK section range to create the new Advance range. It is important to note that the new Advance name covers the full range of hot rolled sections manufactured by Corus for the UK market, including channels, angles, tees and bearing piles as well as beams and columns.

The new beam and column sections have been included to give designers the flexibility to achieve the most effective structural solution from our standard range of hot-rolled sections. Increasingly a least weight structural design approach does not necessarily mean least cost in whole building terms. Often structural depth has a major impact on overall cost due to the high cost of the building envelope. Where services are to be integrated with the structure, a beam sized specifically for the passage of those services is often appropriate.
