Roofing Material manufactured by us is used for construction of roof to cover up a flat or low-pitched roof and the basic purpose is to waterproof the roof area. This material gives complete protection to the building from rain, heat, and cold. Our range of material is available in various sizes and colors that can also be tailored as per the customer’s requirement. Owing to maintenance free, light in weight and easy to handle & install features, these materials are widely demanded in the market.

During the construction of metal buildings or steel structural buildings, we always use steel purlin! Among the popular c and z steel purlins, we may have questions about which one to use. Therefore, regarding this, we will give some brief introduction in the article.

As a result, let’s take a look into the mysteries of the choosing between C and Z steel purlins or galvanized C and Z purlins

Galvanized Cee Purlins

What are Cee Purlins?

In steel construction, the term purlin typically refers to roof framing members that span parallel to the building eave and support the roof decking or sheeting. The steel purlins are in turn supported by rafters or walls.

Metal C Purlins are light in weight and perfect for simple span construction. Cee Purlins are secondary steel framing members used for roof and wall support as well as a header, sill, brace, and more.

What size and lengths do C purlins come in?

Metal Cee Purlins are available in a wide variety of sizes and lengths.  Custom sizes and lengths available with a two week lead time. Metal purlins are in stock for immediate will call or delivery.

Cee Purlins For Metal Roofing

Designed to reduce the distance the rafters have to span, metal purlins support the loads from the roof deck and help to prevent the roof from sagging. Our company also can offers two types of galvanized purlins:

C Purlin - Cee or C purlins are shaped like a squared-off letter C. They are often used for structural support in walls and as floor joists in addition to roofs.

Z Purlin - The zee or Z purlin is shaped like a letter Z. Its shape allows the purlin to overlap with others at the joints. This gives zed purlins the potential to be much stronger than C purlins. Z Purlins are mainly used in walls or for large roofing projects.

Advantages of Cee Purlins

Ability to span length

Purlin construction is easier to assemble and handle

Assured dimensions and straightness

High durability, versatility and uniform quality

Low transportation cost due to decreased weight

Z Purlin and Z Girt Structural Steel

Wind, Snow, & Weight Tables

C purlin has thin wall, light weight, cross-section excellent performance, high strength, and so on.

Compared with the traditional channel, c profile can save 30% of the same strength of materials.

Z shape steel purlin:

Manufactured from high tensile galvanized steel

Despotic C&Z section steel, Z section steel is roll-formed from galvanized steel, specification to be complete

Make from quality raw material

Pre-punched holes based on detail design

Complete accessories package available

C purlin, Z purlin and H beam are widely used in factory buildings, large-span bridges, gymnasiums and portable houses

C purlin may be used in single spans and continuous spans in multi-bay buildings

Our company provides standard, even-profile Z purlins and Z girts as well as custom profiles and punching patterns. We manufacture any component from 1/2" steel subgirts to 12" section up to 10 gauge. Steel z-purlins and z-girts are also available with other depths and flange widths. Contact Flexospan for information on custom purlin and girt structural steel dimensions.Steel roof purlins and wall girts are produced and available in house.

Whether you are looking to finish off the roof of your dream shop or perhaps attach a rain gutter, we have the steel C/Z Purlins to meet your needs here. These cold formed beams are perfect for roof and wall purlins.

With being made by light weight galvanized steel, C/Z purlins are not like the hot rolled I-sections or U-channels in that they are thin-walled resulting in material savings of up to 20% for common loading and spans.

Product Description:

Light-gauge cold-formed steel roof purlins replace heavier hot-rolled steel angle and channel sections. A purlin is a secondary structural member that spans between the primary steel frames to support the roof cladding. The purlin transfers load from the roof cladding to the primary steel rafters. Similarly, a side rail is a secondary structural member that spans between the primary steel frame to support the wall cladding and transfer load from the wall cladding to the primary steel columns. Both purlins and side rails are used to provide restraint to the primary steel frame members. Light gauge cold-formed steel roof purlins are used on a wide range of building types including retail, leisure, industrial, warehouses, distribution, healthcare and education.

And then, people tend to use C and Z steel purlins on their steel framed buildings, in order to provide an efficient, lightweight and cost efficient roofing, cladding and walling support system (Purling and girt system).

However, there is always a question: Shall I use C steel purlins or Z steel purlins on my building? Is there any other difference only except for the shapes?
