CZ Section Purlins & Girts

High-strength cold-formed CZ section purlins and girts manufactured from premium galvanized or hot-rolled steel strip. Featuring a lightweight profile, high section modulus, superior load capacity, and outstanding corrosion resistance. C-purlins provide versatile support for single spans and wall framing, while Z-purlins allow continuous lapping for max efficiency over long spans. Factory pre-punched for fast bolt-assembly, widely used for roof and wall framing in industrial plants, warehouses, and steel structures.

CZ Section Purlins & Girts

CZ section purlins and girts are secondary structural framing members cold-formed from high-strength galvanized or hot-rolled steel strip. Designed to support roof and wall cladding, C-purlins excel in single-span and wall-framing applications, while Z-purlins enable continuous overlapping to maximize structural efficiency and load capacity across long-span buildings.

01 I. Profile Characteristics and Comparison
C-Purlin ProfileSymmetrical C-shape cross-section, easy to align and erect. Ideal for simple-span roofing, wall girts, door frames, and floor joists.

Z-Purlin ProfileAsymmetrical Z-shape with unequal flanges, allowing overlap connections over supports to form a continuous beam with higher rigidity.

High Strength-to-Weight RatioCold-forming technology optimizes cross-sectional strength, delivering superior bending moment resistance while minimizing structural dead weight.

Factory Pre-PunchingCustom holes and slot patterns pre-punched during production to ensure precise, fast, alignment-free field bolting without site welding.

02 II. Materials and Technical Specifications
  • Raw Material Options: Premium hot-dip galvanized steel strip, hot-rolled steel strip, or cold-rolled steel with custom painted finishes.
  • Zinc Coating Protection: Galvanized zinc coating weight options from Z120 to Z275 (g/m²), offering superior salt-spray and weather corrosion resistance.
  • Dimensional Ranges: Web height (H) from 80mm to 350mm; Flange width (B) from 40mm to 80mm; Thickness (t) from 1.5mm to 3.5mm; custom lengths up to 12 meters.

03 III. Key Application Areas
  • Industrial Plants & Warehouses: Secondary roof purlins and side-wall girts supporting corrugated steel sheets or insulated sandwich panels.
  • Logistics Centers & Superstores: Structural framing systems for large-span commercial spaces, distribution hubs, and exhibition halls.
  • Agricultural & Livestock Buildings: Corrosion-resistant roof and wall framework for greenhouses, barns, and storage sheds.
  • Prefab & Modular Structures: Lightweight framing components for modular housing, equipment enclosures, and site offices.

04 IV. Key Advantages and Performance
  • Continuous Lapping Efficiency (Z-Purlin): Overlapping Z-purlins at support points increases continuous load capacity by 20% to 30% compared to simple spans, reducing steel consumption.
  • Maintenance-Free Weatherability: High-zinc galvanized surface prevents rust and corrosion, eliminating site painting costs and ensuring long service life.
  • Compact Packaging & Freight Savings: Nestable design (especially Z-purlins) allows dense stacking, maximizing container loading capacity and lowering shipping costs.

05 V. Erection and Handling Precautions
  • Lapping Length Compliance: Ensure Z-purlin lap joint lengths strictly follow engineering design drawings (typically 1.5 to 2.0 times the purlin web height).
  • High-Strength Fastener Use: Secure purlins to primary rafters/columns using certified galvanized bolts and anti-loosening washers to withstand wind uplift.
  • Storage & Water Prevention: Store purlin bundles off the ground on sloped dunnage to prevent standing rainwater accumulation during job site storage.
