Product Description
Steel purlins are secondary load-bearing members used to support roof panels and wall cladding in steel structures. They are manufactured using automatic cold roll forming lines from galvanized coils (Q235B / Q355B / G550). C-section purlins are suitable for simply supported spans, while Z-section purlins allow continuous lapping for greater load capacity and deflection control. Surface treatment includes hot-dip galvanizing or anti-corrosion painting, ensuring service life of over 20 years in industrial environments.

Product Features
Steel purlins mainly including C-type, Z-type and U-type profiles. They are made by cold forming process with precise size and stable structure. The products feature high strength, light weight and great load-bearing capacity. With hot-dip galvanized surface treatment, they have excellent corrosion resistance and long service life. They are easy to cut, transport and install, saving construction time and cost. Widely used for roof and wall support of steel structure warehouses, workshops, greenhouses and other buildings.
