Purlins offer crucial support for constructing steel buildings, and at the Purlin Mill, we sell the Z purlin and C purlin. Z purlins take on the shape of the letter Z, whereas C purlins take on the shape of the letter C. While they’re lightweight, they can support the load from the roof panels. Ours use G-90 galvanized steel, and they were designed to support the structure and improve its strength.

Advantages of Purlins

You have a few distinct advantages, like reducing the rafter space and allowing for greater open space in the building. Another advantage is that they’re cost-effective, and they will lower the cost of constructing your building. Another big advantage is that they tend to be lightweight, prefabricated, and easy to install compared to more traditional building methods.

Uses for Purlins

Whether you use a C purlin or a Z purlin will depend on your needs. The C purlin was made as a column and rafter for the end wall. It will provide you with the entire framework for the building. The Z purlin, on the other hand, is particularly advantageous when building the roofs and the walls. They act as a framework to help support the roofs and walls.

Why Galvanized Steel

We use galvanized steel because it works well in high-moisture environments where you need extra corrosion resistance to ensure your building will last a long time. This will add to the durability and lifespan of your building so that you get the most from your steel building.
