What are purlins used for?
A purlin is used for structural support in buildings and fitted to the structure which enables roof and cladding sheets to be fixed to them.
What is the maximum spacing for purlins?
A roof purlin should be spaced at no greater distance than 1.8m for 0.7mm box profile sheeting. There are many factors that can affect this, and this is just a rough idea to use.
How are the purlins attached to the building?
A purlin is connected to the framework of the building by a cleat that is bolted or welded to the column or rafter.
Where do I use a Zee purlin and a Cee section purlin?
Zed purlins are commonly used in roof applications, while Cee sections are used to support walls or floors of the building. However, Zed purlins can also be used for the walls as well.
Which is stronger, a Zed or Cee purlin?
The zed purlin is stronger due to its shape, hence why it is used for the roof application.
