Verified by manufacturer 22 hours ago
WallBeam® is a fire-rated structural beam for riser walls, offering 120 mins fire resistance, 5 kN/m load capacity, and easy installation with AlphaRiser channels for strength and flexibility.
Application
The Comtec WallBeam is a multi-functional structural element designed to support fire-resisting partition walls, retain walls from below, and incorporate deflection head details. It can be used as part of an AlphaRiser unit or as a standalone component fixed directly to walls or floors.
System integration:
- Can be used to support or retain fire-rated walls.
- Provides structural and fire-rated continuity within AlphaRiser assemblies.
- Allows joist integration and fixing of services into the AlphaRiser channels.
Description
WallBeam is a innovative structural support beam that gives more than 120 minutes of vertical and horizontal fire stopping and provides a suitable product for supporting riser partition walls. The design incorporates the AlphaRiser channel profile and therefore enables full compatibility with the GRP support joists of lateral accommodation of additional WallBeams.
Features and benefits:
- Provides over 120 minutes of fire resistance, tested to BS EN standards.
- Compatible with AlphaRiser channels for easy integration with GRP joists.
- Constructed from laser-cut mild steel with lightweight concrete infill for strength.
- Standard load capacity of 5 kN per linear metre, with higher capacities available on request.
- Slim 160 mm width and variable heights (200–300 mm) to suit spans up to 5 m.
- Maintains fire safety without additional boarding, saving time and cost.
- Maximizes usable riser space with a compact design.
- Allows flexible positioning along AlphaRiser channels for simple site tolerance.
- Durable materials ensure long service life and structural reliability.
- Supports partition walls, floor joists, and services in one integrated solution.
