Frequently Asked Questions
C-Purlin is a lightweight, cold-formed steel structural member shaped like the letter ‘C’. Commonly used in roofing, wall framing, and flooring systems, it supports loads from sheeting or decking and transfers them to the building’s main frame, providing strength and stability to the structure.
The type of C-Purlin depends on your project’s span length, load requirements, and application. Choose thicker, deeper sections for longer spans or heavier loads. Galvanized C-Purlins are ideal for outdoor or exposed areas, while plain steel suits indoor use or covered environments.
C-Purlins have a ‘C’ shape and are used for straightforward, non-overlapping applications. Z-Purlins, shaped like a ‘Z’, can overlap and interlock, making them suitable for continuous spans and large-scale roofing projects. Z-Purlins generally offer better structural efficiency in lapped systems.
