You need to know these before opting for C and Z purlin for your roofing

Purlins

Purlins are sheets of steel that are used in roofing for supporting the structure. They are usually sheets of about 3 mm thickness. Sometimes even sheets of lesser thickness are used. Purlins are of two shapes. The ‘C’ purlin and the ‘Z’ purlin. They bear the shapes of the letters ‘C’ and ‘Z’ respectively. The thickness and the shapes of the purlins depend on the structures they need to support.

Mostly, purlins are used as supportive frames while construct roofs and sometimes they are also used to support structures like decks, sheds and walls. They contribute a lot to maintaining the stability of any structure. They are very popular among engineers due to their sturdy nature.

‘C’ purlins are suitable for some structures and other structures may benefit from ‘Z’ structures. The engineers involved in the construction of the structures along with insights from clients and other experts decide the type of purlin which would suit the structure the best. At times a combination of both types is also used if the structures need such support.
