LIFESPAN ARCHITECTURAL BEAMS
Lifespan architectural beams offer design versatility and increased span thanks to their specialised aluminium core that makes for easier installation at height. The outer coating of low-maintenance bamboo composite resists biodegradation, corrosion, insects, and harsh weather, and offers built-in UV protection for beautiful durability. Enjoy the look of timber beams without the upkeep.

Outer protective composite coating (Eva-tech surface technology)
Lifespan architectural beams offer the span capability of much heavier, solid beams thanks to their built-in aluminium core. This core significantly enhances the dimensional and flexural stability of the beam, while the Eva-tech composite coating provides a realistic timber aesthetic, as well as resistance to severe climatic and biodeterioration conditions.
HIGH PERFORMANCE FOR HIGH EXPECTATIONS
