Key features:

• Material: Cold-formed steel
• Shape: Z-shaped profile
• Dimensions:
  • Nominal depth: 2 inches (actual depth may vary slightly)
  • Nominal width: 4 inches (actual width may vary slightly)
  • Length: 20 feet
• Strong and lightweight: Z-shape optimizes material usage, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
• Efficient: Provides good support with less material compared to other profiles.
• Durable: Can withstand various weather conditions.
• Versatile: Suitable for various applications, including:
  • Supporting roof and wall panels (metal, composite, etc.)
  • Cladding support
  • Carports
  • Sheds
  • And other structural applications

Additional details:

• Galvanized finish: Some purlins may have a galvanized coating for added corrosion resistance (check with your supplier for material specifications).
• Installation: Typically installed using screws or bolts secured to supporting structures like beams or walls.

When choosing Z purlins, consider factors like:

• Span: The distance between supports where the purlin will be placed.
• Load capacity: The weight the purlin needs to support.
• Material and thickness: These will influence the strength and weight of the purlin.
• Roof pitch: Z purlins are generally suitable for roofs with a steeper pitch compared to C purlins.
