Description
Purlins: Structural Support for Your Roofing System
Purlins are essential structural components used in roofing systems to provide support for the roof covering. They transfer the load from the roof covering (e.g., roofing sheets, tiles) to the main structural members, like rafters or trusses. Choosing the right purlins is critical for ensuring the structural integrity and longevity of your building.
Types of Purlins:
We offer a wide range of purlins to suit various applications and building designs:
- Steel Purlins: Our steel purlins are renowned for their high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and resistance to corrosion. They are available in various shapes and sizes, including:
- Z-purlins: Economical and widely used for their efficient load-bearing capacity. Ideal for roofs with relatively light loads.
- C-purlins: Offer excellent stiffness and are suitable for longer spans and heavier loads.
- I-purlins: Provide superior strength and are often used in larger industrial or commercial buildings.
- Timber Purlins: For projects requiring a more aesthetically pleasing or environmentally friendly option, we offer high-quality timber purlins. These are typically treated for rot and insect resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance. The specific timber type (e.g., treated pine, engineered wood) will vary depending on the application and load requirements.
