FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Purlins are structural steel members used primarily in roofing systems to provide support for roof sheeting. They run horizontally along the length of a building, spanning between rafters or portal frames, and act as a fixing point for roofing materials.
They play a key role in distributing roof loads, including the weight of the roof itself, as well as wind and other environmental forces, across the main structural framework. This helps improve the overall strength and stability of the structure.
Purlins are commonly used in sheds, warehouses, garages, and commercial or industrial buildings. They are typically available in different profiles, such as C and Z sections, which are designed for efficient load-bearing and easy installation.
In addition to roofing, purlins can also be used in wall systems (often referred to as girts) to support wall cladding.
Overall, purlins are an essential component in steel-framed construction, providing reliable support, improving structural performance, and ensuring a secure base for roofing and wall materials.
Yes, we supply top hats to suit a range of roofing and walling applications. At Newcastle Steel Distributors (NSD), top hats are commonly used as a lightweight framing solution, providing support for cladding, ceiling systems, and lining applications.
Top hats are ideal for both residential and commercial projects, offering a simple and efficient way to create a level fixing surface. They are often used in conjunction with purlins and other structural components, particularly in steel-framed buildings.
Available in a range of sizes and finishes, including galvanised options for added corrosion resistance, top hats are suitable for both internal and external use.
