We provide a wide range of beam reinforcements to prevent deflection on the roof allowing doors to move more freely. Goalpost header beams may be required to manage larger spans and have the added benefit of providing additional structure at the corners to manage any lateral forces too.
Designed to work with bi-folds, this beam enhancement sits under the eaves beam on the elevations with large door spans. Packers will need to be used to maintain an even frame height all the way around.
Located behind the eaves beam, this beam reinforcement is discreet and needs only to be used on the elevations with large door spans to keep costs low.
Combine the bi-fold support beam AND the super-bolster to deliver the extra reinforcement needed to support for even larger spans.
If you decide to use large door spans in your design, you can determine which eaves beam reinforcement you require using the span charts detailed in the technical guide.
Please note the span charts only indicate which eaves beam reinforcement is required to manage the downward deflection and load on the doors. They do not take into any information about the building structure and its ability to withstand any lateral forces (please refer to the technical guide).
When specifying your roof, we can use the Enhanced Structural Design Guide which shows the maximum door span possible under the eaves depending on which eaves beam is selected. Increase your beam reinforcement on your specified roof until your desired door span is possible.
