FEATURE		BENEFIT
Purlin ½” variance in flange width & 50 degree angled stiffener lip.		Allows easy placement of purlins and easy installation and greater stability.
Nominal purlin spacing of 5′.		Economical design.
50+ combinations of size, gauge, spacing and lap length.		Optimum design.
Continuous purlin lap lengths of 7 ½”, 1′ 2 ¾”, 2′ 5 ¾”, 3′ 8 ¾” .		Economical pricing.
Pre-painted, factory baked red oxide finish.		Smooth, attractive appearance, improved adherence & durability. Therefore, no paint sticking problems.
Purlin clips welded to frame.		Rest point during installation, quicker installation, reduces purlin roll under heavy loading & increases stiffness.
Optional gray or pre-galvanized finish.		Meets specifications, greater resistance to some corrosive atmospheres.
Tabbed sag angles are used with standing seam options/systems.		Reduces purlin roll, increases stiffness, ease of installation, greater stability, and increased load capacity.
Easy purlin identification.		Ease of installation.
Members of LGSI.		Meets specifications.
With a wider width and higher gauge zee-purlin, we can go to longer bays, up to 40′.		Longer bay buildings can be furnished with the advantages of a coldformed zee-purlin.
