BT20 Formwork Beam, 1.90 m, Fully Protected with PPL Profiles – a set of 50 beams (95 linear metres) made from C24-grade spruce timber, featuring a 27 mm three-layer panel web and full PPL protective profiles. These beams offer high rigidity and durability, making them ideal for slab and wall formwork systems.
The 1.90 m BT20 formwork beam with full protective fittings is a durable structural component designed for professional formwork systems. Made from C24-grade spruce timber and featuring a 27 mm-thick three-layer panel web, it provides high rigidity and reliability during construction work.
This product is supplied as a set of 50 BT20 beams, each 1.90 m long, giving a total of 95 linear metres. The full protective cladding, made from cushioning PPL profiles, helps protect the beam against mechanical damage and improves its durability during intensive use on construction sites.
The BT20 formwork beam with protective cladding is a versatile construction component used to transfer loads in formwork structures. Its design makes it suitable for standard slab formwork as well as more demanding formwork applications.
BT20 beams are suitable for:
The full protective cladding provides additional protection in areas exposed to damage. The selection of props, beam spacing and other system components must always comply with the formwork design and the manufacturer's requirements.

The stated strength parameters should be interpreted in accordance with the manufacturer's technical documentation. The permissible loads for the complete system also depend on the span, support arrangement, beam spacing and operating conditions.
One of the key features of the BT20 model is its full protective cladding made from cushioning PPL profiles. This solution helps protect the beam against damage that may occur during transport, handling, installation and everyday use on site.
Protecting the beam surface is particularly important when components are reused across multiple projects. Proper handling, regular inspections and suitable storage help keep the beams in good condition for longer.
To maintain the performance of formwork beams, follow proper operating procedures and inspect the components regularly.
The BT20 formwork beam, 1.90 m, with protective cladding is designed for contractors, construction companies and investors looking for durable components for professional formwork systems. The combination of C24-grade spruce timber, a 27 mm-thick three-layer panel web and full protective cladding creates a robust structure suited to demanding construction work.
The set of 50 beams with a total length of 95 linear metres helps prepare materials for larger projects. The 1.90 m beam length allows the components to be selected for a specific formwork layout, in accordance with the design and technical requirements.
If you are looking for durable beams for slab or wall formwork, the BT20 beam with full protective cladding is a practical choice for professional construction applications.
