Flitch Plates

Flitch Plates are steel plates used in combination with timber beams to provide enhanced strength, rigidity, and load-bearing capacity in hybrid construction. Positioned between timber layers and bolted together, flitch plates create a composite structure that retains the aesthetic and ease of working with wood while gaining the structural advantages of steel. This makes them an excellent choice for applications such as floors, roofs, and beams in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Flitch plates are particularly valued in renovations or extensions where they offer increased performance without significant increases in size or weight.
