What's the difference between an I-Beam and an H-Beam?

I-Beams have narrower flanges relative to their depth, while H-Beams have wider, thicker flanges, giving H-Beams greater resistance to bending about both axes. I-Beams are common for beams and girders; H-Beams are more often used for columns.

Do you supply I-Beams cut to length?

Yes, I-Beams can be supplied in standard mill lengths or cut to your specified length for fabrication.
