Z and C sections (Girts & Purlins)
āZā shaped profiles and āCā shaped Channels are used as Purlins and Girts which are roll-formed from Hi-Tensile Galvanized steel. They are primarily used to provide lightweight, economical, efficient roofing and cladding support systems for framed structures. Purlins and Girts are available in a range of different sizes and configurations to cater the demands of the structure.
C-sections have equal flanges and may be used in single spans and unlapped continuous spans in multi-bay buildings. Their freestanding stable shape allows easy handling and storage and is easily adapted for use in small and medium sized buildings as structural framework.
Z-sections feature one broad and one narrow flange allowing the two sections to fit together snugly, making them suitable for lapping.
