DELTABEAM® Slim Floor Structure for open spaces – Deltabeam® Frame

DELTABEAM® Frame saves time and maximizes space utilization 

Traditionally, all the different frame components have been sourced from various suppliers, and the structural engineer and the constructor have been responsible for the overall design and compatibility of components. The same applies to keeping to the building schedule with timely deliveries.

When you source the entire frame from a single supplier, your project becomes easier to manage. The DELTABEAM® Frame consists of DELTABEAM® Composite Beams, Composite Columns, and other steel structures required for the building’s frame.

DELTABEAM® Frame Benefits:

  • One supplier for the entire frame
  • Tailored solution
  • Smooth design process
  • Light components that are easy to transport and fast to install
  • Standardized connection details
  • The Composite Frame components are CE marked according to EN 1090-1
  • Up to R180 fire resistance built in

More space for your investment

Using DELTABEAM® Frame, you will get more floor area for a given building footprint.

A DELTABEAM® Frame maximises the space available in two ways. Firstly, the floors are slim, meaning that you will get more room height or more floors for a given building height. Secondly, composite columns take up very little space. This translates into more floor area to sell or rent. 

A tailored frame solution

The DELTABEAM® Frame is formed by DELTABEAM® Composite Beams and Composite Columns, which are connected using standardized connections, and other steel structures required for the building’s frame. All the components work in perfect unison and are delivered on site exactly when needed.

Composite Columns are made of a hollow steel section with a rebar cage placed inside. The columns are filled with concrete on-site. Columns are available in square, rectangular, and circular format in standard profiles.  

Additional steel structures such as trusses, braces and various types of beam and column can be incorporated into the DELTABEAM® Frame delivery.

Peikko does the dimensioning and modeling of the frame components according to your specification. Peikko can also work directly with your architect or structural designer.

Note that the DELTABEAM® Frame allows for BREEAM and LEED certifications. 

DELTABEAM® Frame in the Iso Omena shopping mall in Finland

The Iso Omena shopping mall in Espoo, Finland, has been constructed in several phases with various frame technologies. Peikko was chosen as a frame supplier in the last construction phase. The DELTABEAM® Frame was joined with the different frames constructed in the earlier phases. 

With a height of 700 mm, DELTABEAM® was used in very high loading applications. The DELTABEAM® Frame was substantially slimmer than the adjoining truss solution used in the earlier phases and allowed for easy, unobstructed HVAC installations.
