 FEATURE    BENEFIT
1 Purlin 1/2" variance in flange width & 50 degree angled stiffener lip.   1 Allows easy placement of purlins and easy installation and greater stability.
2 Nominal purlin spacing of 5'.   2 Economical design.
3 50+ combinations of size, gauge, spacing and lap length.   3 Optimum design.
4 Continuous purlin lap lengths of 7 1/2", 1' 2 3/4", 2' 5 3/4", 3' 8 3/4" .   4 Economical pricing.
5 Pre-painted, factory baked red oxide finish.   5 Smooth, attractive appearance, improved adherence & durability. Therefore, no paint sticking problems.
6 Purlin clips welded to frame.   6 Rest point during installation, quicker installation, reduces purlin roll under heavy loading, & increases stiffness.
7 Optional gray or pre-galvanized finish.   7 Meets specifications, greater resistance to some corrosive atmospheres.
8 Tabbed sag angles are used with standing seam options/systems.   8 Reduces purlin roll, increases stiffness, ease of installation, greater stability, and increased load capacity.
9 Easy purlin identification.   9 Ease of installation.
10 Members of LGSI.   10 Meets specifications.
11 With a wider width and higher gauge zee-purlin, we can go to a longer bays up to 40'.   11 Longer bay buildings, can be furnished with the advantages of a cold-formed zee-purlin.
