What is the difference between a Tapered Flange and Straight Flange faux steel I-Beam?
A Tapered Flange I-Beam has flanges that become thinner toward their outer edges, reproducing the profile associated with traditional tapered steel I-sections. A Straight Flange profile maintains more uniform, parallel flange surfaces. The tapered version is a strong choice when the goal is a more traditional industrial steel-beam appearance.
