BUILDING COMPONENTS

PURLINS AND
GIRTS

PURLINS AND GIRTS

These are horizontal structural members of a roof. They support loads from the roof deck/sheathing and are commonly used in metal building systems. Being critical structural elements, they must be manufactured exactly to specification.

PURLINS

Purlins are thin-gauge lightweight construction elements produced by roll forming, mainly used as roof purlins and secondary girders. Purlins can be produced in an infinite variation, ranging from the smallest to the largest possible profile type, and in different overall heights.

GIRTS

GIRTS are horizontal structural members in a framed wall and resist lateral loads from wind and support wall cladding materials. They support metal siding in metal building systems and are generally constructed from cold roll-formed steel sections

FINISH

» CR STEEL as per IS 513 Grade
» HR STEEL as per IS 1079; IS 10748; IS 2062: IS 5986
» GALVANISED STEEL as per IS 277; ASTM A 653 (80gsm - 550gsm)

APPLICATIONS

» High Rise Buildings
» Multiplexes/Commercial Buildings
» Power Plant Buildings
» Office Buildings
» Mezzanine Floors in Industrial Buildings
» Warehouses

Advantages

» Very high strength-to-weight ratio; high strength, low cost.
» 40% saving in steel; 30% saving in overall construction cost.
» Easy and low-cost handling and transportation.
» Economy due to a reduction in dead weight on the main frame structure.
» Significantly reduces installation time.
» Ability to span long lengths.
» No site drilling or cutting required.
» Maintenance-free owing to the application of proper surface finish.
» Factory-finished, cut to exact lengths with pre-punched holes to avoid time and material wastage.
» Continuous splay and splicing for better structural strength, stability and economy.
» 450 lip for better sectional modulus and easy nesting

Accessories

Sag Rods, Cleats, Sleeves, and Eve Struts will be supplied along with Purlins

Services

1. Our Technical department offers comprehensive advisory service on the Design and detailing of Purlins based on Shop drawings of the site

2. Purlins can be pre-punched in our factory. This makes construction on-site faster and easier.

3. Holes are made after production at a continuous line

4. For HR Purlins, Paint of Red Oxide Primer/Grey Primer will be applied as per request

5. Design & supply of Cleats/Sleeves/sag rods in addition to Purlins

Girts

GIRTS are horizontal structural members in a framed wall and resist lateral loads from wind and support wall cladding materials. They support metal siding in metal building systems and are generally constructed from cold roll-formed steel sections.

Metalkraft manufactures Purlins and Girts from different grades of quality steel with requisite yield strength to minimise weight while maximising capacity. We manufacture a wide range of structural ZED and CEE Purlins and Girts for industrial buildings, sheds, storage, garages, carports, etc., where reliable solid steel framing is required.
