Steel purlin is usually made of cold-formed steel that is thin enough to put screws through. Cold-formed steel is made by rolling or pressing thin sheets of steel into the desired shape. Usually in "C" shape or "Z" shape. Purlins are most commonly used in Metal Building Systems, where Z-shapes are utilized in a manner that allows flexural continuity between spans.
Purlins are secondary steel framing members used for roof and wall support as well as a header, sill, brace, and more.

C Purlins are secondary steel framing members used for roof and wall support as well as a header, sill, brace, and more. Available in prepainted or galvanized, C Purlins are available cut to length.

In steel construction, the term purlin typically refers to roof framing members that span parallel to the building eave and support the roof decking or sheeting. The steel purlins are in turn supported by rafters or walls. Metal C Purlins are light in weight and perfect for simple span construction.

Metal Cee Purlins are available in a wide variety of sizes and lengths. Custom sizes and lengths are available.
