Why does the URL of the 14×16 cm beam contain 16×12?
This is a mismatch in the Shopify handle: the title indicates 14×16 cm, but the URL contains 16×12. The variants differ only in length and do not resolve the conflict. Before ordering, confirm the actual cross-section 14×16 cm via SKU, label, and measurement. For structural design, use the GID and confirmed product, not the size derived from the page URL.
Which side of the 14×16 cm beam should be vertical?
The orientation is determined by the design scheme and direction of forces. The 16 cm dimension is often considered the height in bending, but this is not a universal rule for every connection or load. Lateral bracing, strength class, and deflection checks are required. The installer should follow the drawing, not rotate the beam based on available space.
What lengths are available for the 14×16 cm beam according to the variants?
The catalog offers 3 m with SKU LT-4527 and 4 m with SKU LT-4526. Five meters LT-4525 and six meters LT-4524 are marked as made-to-order. Due to the incorrect handle, every request must repeat the 14×16 cm cross-section and SKU. Long elements are checked for transport, lifting, straightness, and the possibility of installation without unplanned joints.
What is the volume of one 14×16 cm piece at different lengths?
The nominal cross-section is 0.0224 m². One piece is 0.0672 m³ at 3 m, 0.0896 m³ at 4 m, 0.1120 m³ at 5 m, and 0.1344 m³ at 6 m. The calculation is valid for the exact 14×16 cm cross-section, which must be confirmed due to the mismatched URL. Also check the invoiced unit of measure in the offer.
Can a 14×16 cm beam replace a 14×14 cm beam without recalculation?
It should not be replaced automatically. The larger rectangular cross-section changes geometry, self-weight, orientation, and connections, but load capacity also depends on wood class and span. Supports, metal shoes, and roof levels may not match. The designer must verify the substitution, and the two confused Shopify handles require physical confirmation of dimensions.
How is delivery organized for 14×16 cm beams of 5 or 6 m length?
First confirm made-to-order availability and exact SKUs, then check allowable transport length, route, unloading site, and lifting equipment. The long beam must be supported to prevent bending or dragging. Prepare flat pads and dry, ventilated storage on site in advance. The delivery time is not specified and is negotiated separately.
