Tapered flanges, vertical web

I-Beam

An I-beam features tapered top and bottom flanges connected by a vertical web. For the most realistic steel appearance, our I-beams are typically manufactured with 5" or 6" tapered flanges.

Flat parallel flanges, vertical web

H-Beam

An H-beam consists of two flat, parallel flanges connected by a vertical web, forming the shape of the letter "H". H-beams have wider flanges than I-beams for a heavier structural look.

Connecting Plate / Splice Plate

Connecting plates, also called splice plates, are decorative covers used to conceal seams on the web and flanges of beams and channels, creating the appearance of a continuous steel member.
