A Z- Purlin section is a type of steel purlin used in construction and engineering applications. It is also known as a Z- Purlin or Z-section. Z channels are designed to provide structural support and act as a framing element in roofing and wall cladding systems.
Z Purlin are commonly used in construction as secondary framing elements that support the roofing or wall cladding system. They are often installed perpendicular to the primary framing elements, such as rafters or trusses, and spaced at regular intervals along the length of the building.
At Jibreel factories, Z Purlin are made by bending or profiling a sheet of steel into the desired shape. The resulting Purlin is characterized by its shape, which resembles the letter “Z”. This design provides high torsional stiffness, which makes the channel resistant to bending and twisting forces.
