WF vs H-Beam, Which is More Suitable for Your Project?

In steel construction, two types of profiles that are often used are WF (Wide Flange) and H-Beam. At first glance they look similar because both are shaped like the letter "H", but there are actually important technical differences, both in terms of structure, size, and use. Understanding these differences will help you determine the type of beam that is most suitable for your project needs.

What are WF and H-Beam?
WF (Wide Flange) is a type of steel profile with a flange that is wider than the web. Generally used in tall building structures, bridges, and heavy construction because of its strength against bending and compressive loads.

H-Beam is a term that is sometimes used to refer to WF, but in Indonesia, H-Beam can also refer to a profile with a flange and web that are almost the same size or come from European or Chinese rolling steel.

Which is More Suitable for Your Project?
Use WF if you need structural efficiency with lighter weight, especially for multi-story buildings or bridges.

Choose H-Beam if you need a thicker and stronger beam locally, for example for heavy machinery foundations, short bridge frames, or large-scale steel plates.
