FAQs Steel Purlins
What is the purpose of a steel purlin?
Steel purlins support roof and wall sheeting, transferring loads from the cladding to the main structural frame. They run horizontally across the rafters or columns of a building.
What are the most common types of steel purlins?
C and Z Purlins are the most common types. C Purlins suit simple, non-overlapping spans, while Z Purlins overlap and interlock for continuous spans, providing greater structural efficiency over long distances.
What is the key difference between C and Z Purlins?
Z purlins can overlap and interlock at intermediate supports, creating a more efficient continuous beam behavior. C purlins are used in simple-span applications where this continuity is not required.
Can purlins be used for both roof and wall support?
Yes. Both C and Z purlins are used for roof purlins (supporting roof panels) and wall girts (supporting wall cladding), making them versatile elements in metal building systems.
What coatings and materials are available?
All purlins are available in galvanized steel with G90 or G60 coatings for corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance in commercial, industrial, and agricultural environments.
