AZ+ Corrosion Protection
AZ+ Advantage

LiteSteel beam AZ+ redefines on-site building flexibility.

LSB with AZ+ is on average, an impressive 40% lighter than hot rolled structural beam equivalents. So it can generally be lifted and positioned in place without the need for cranes. You can cut it to fit and install on-site, just like a timber beam. And it doesn’t require special training, tools or radical changes to current building methods. Whether building in residential or commercial, by choosing LSB AZ+, you’ll achieve a total installed cost advantage in time and money.

Coatings compared.

Research has shown that LiteSteel beam with AZ+ is ideal for external use in moderate environments without the need for a painted top coat. Other pre-galvanised coatings simply don’t make the grade, with expensive paints required to achieve the corrosion protection required by BCA guidelines.
