Z-Purlins are cold-formed steel components designed to span between a building’s rigid frames, supporting both the roof and wall panels. Their unique “Z” shape allows them to overlap at joints, creating longer continuous spans that increase strength while reducing material waste.
Indaco Metals fabricates Z-Purlins to precise lengths and gauges to meet your project’s engineering requirements. Whether you’re building an agricultural barn, warehouse, or commercial facility, Z-Purlins provide the secondary framing that ties the structure together and ensures lasting stability.
When you order Z-Purlins from Indaco Metals, you receive high-quality, precision-fabricated steel components ready for your project:
Z-Purlins are best for:
If your project requires lighter framing or smaller buildings, C-Purlins or tubing may be more appropriate. For large, engineered buildings, Z-Purlins are the trusted choice.
Ordering your Z-Purlins from Indaco Metals is a streamlined process designed for efficiency:
For robust roof framing and optimized load distribution, trust Indaco Metals' precision and expertise in steel components.
Indaco Metals Z-Purlins are engineered to provide superior structural advantages, ensuring efficiency and long-term performance for your metal building's roof.* **Optimized Load Distribution:** The unique Z-shape allows for nesting and overlapping connections, creating continuous spans that efficiently distribute loads across multiple bays, enhancing overall roof strength.* **Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio:** Cold-formed from high-quality steel, Z-Purlins offer exceptional strength without excessive weight, contributing to an efficient and durable roof system.* **Reduced Deflection:** Their design provides excellent resistance to deflection under load, ensuring a stable and flat surface for your roofing panels.* **Enhanced Structural Performance:** Ideal for longer spans, Z-Purlins allow for more economical and robust roof framing solutions compared to traditional methods.* **Precision Manufacturing:** Our in-house engineering and fabrication guarantee accurate dimensions and consistent quality for every piece, leading to faster, more precise installation.
Why use Z-Purlins instead of C-Purlins?
Z-Purlins overlap at joints, allowing for longer spans and stronger connections.
Do Z-Purlins come pre-punched?
Yes, they can be pre-punched for easier field installation.
What gauges are available?
Common gauges are 12–16, with custom options depending on structural needs.
