The span quoted is solely for the purpose of producing

these structural calculations. Measurements must be taken
on site before ordering any materials.

Beams specified for load bearing walls of cavity

construction, are often two beams, one for each skin of
brick/blockwork. Check the comments at the bottom of the
page for each beam specified, before ordering any materials.
