C Purlin

C purlins (aka Cee Purlins) are metal structural members that are shaped like the letter C. They are used to provide support for beams that are required for walls and flooring. C purlins are also commonly used in roofing applications. In addition to their structural support capabilities, C purlins are also lightweight and easy to install. This makes them a good choice for a variety of applications.

  • Galvanized C purlins are coated with a layer of zinc that protects them from rust and corrosion. This makes them a good choice for applications where exposure to the elements is high, such as in coastal areas or areas with a lot of snow.
  • Red oxide C purlins are coated with a layer of red oxide paint that also provides some corrosion protection. However, red oxide purlins are not as durable as galvanized purlins and may need to be repainted more often.
  • In general, galvanized purlins are a better choice for applications where corrosion protection is critical. However, red oxide purlins are a less expensive option and may be sufficient for applications where corrosion protection is not as important.
