There are, however, often a number of challenges associated with these projects. Let's take a look at how DELTABEAM® Composite Beams can be used for adaptive reuse projects.
Slim-Floor Design: Floor-to-ceiling height is maximized thanks to DELTABEAM® Composite Beam's flush and shallow profile.
Customizable Heights: DELTABEAM® can be customized to match specific floor heights, ensuring a seamless transition between old and new sections all while handling required loads.
Flexibility: Several types of slabs can be used with DELTABEAM® Composite Beams, such as hollowcore, steel deck, and a variety of different mass timber panels.
Smaller Cranes: Due to DELTABEAM® Composite Beam's lightweight nature, smaller cranes can be used for installation, which is particularly beneficial in urban areas with limited space and access.
Fire rating: DELTABEAM® Composite Beam's integrated fireproofing offers the possibility of achieving between 1 to 4 hours of UL/ULC fire rating, easily meeting the fire safety requirements of any structure.
By addressing these challenges, DELTABEAM® empowers architects and builders to create functional and aesthetically pleasing adaptive reuse projects.
