C and Z purlins are structural members used in the construction of buildings and roofs, primarily serving as support for roof and wall sheeting. These purlins are available in two common materials: Mild Steel (MS) and Galvanized Steel(GL).
C purlins, shaped like the letter “C,” are typically used for roof support, providing a strong framework for various roofing materials. Z purlins, shaped like the letter “Z,” are often used for wall applications, enabling a more flexible and adaptable framework.
Both types of purlins can be used in various configurations, making them suitable for different construction needs. Mild Steel (MS) purlins offer high strength and cost-effectiveness, making them a popular choice for many applications.
On the other hand, Galvanized Steel (GL) purlins feature a zinc coating that enhances corrosion resistance, making them ideal for environments exposed to moisture and other corrosive elements. Both C and Z purlins are lightweight yet strong, allowing for easy handling and installation, contributing to overall construction efficiency.
