In many projects, architects set out with a vision for open, spacious interiors, only to face structural realities that require:
✗ Dropping ceilings to accommodate ductwork blocked by deep beams.
✗ Applying spray-on fireproofing that compromises an exposed steel aesthetic.
✗ Adding bulkheads to work around structural depth variations.
While these workarounds are sometimes necessary, they can detract from the original design intent and introduce unexpected costs and coordination challenges.
With DELTABEAM®, structural depth can be reduced, allowing architects to preserve their vision:
✔ More headroom without increasing total building height – The beam sits within the slab, reducing overall floor thickness and making full ceiling heights possible.
✔ Fire-resistant by design: Built-in protection that maintains architectural aesthetics and eliminates unsightly spray-on fireproofing.
✔ Easier mechanical coordination – MEP systems fit more easily within the floor structure, avoiding bulkheads.
Architects who incorporate DELTABEAM® into their projects offer real, measurable value. Peikko’s team is ready to support architects with technical insights, design assistance, and project-specific guidance to ensure DELTABEAM® fits seamlessly into your vision.
