Z Purlins

Z purlins are a type of structural steel framing used primarily in roofs and buildings to provide support for the roof covering or deck. Shaped like the letter “Z,” these purlins offer a strong and lightweight solution for creating a stable and secure roofing structure. They are designed to span between the primary supports or frames of a building, acting as secondary beams that distribute loads from the roof to the primary structural elements. Z purlins are favored for their ease of installation and their ability to be adjusted or modified on-site, making them highly versatile for various architectural designs and construction projects. Their unique shape allows for efficient overlapping, enhancing structural integrity and providing a continuous span that reduces the need for additional supports, thereby optimizing material usage and reducing overall construction costs.
