January 2013 – Steel purlins are structures designed to keep a building’s roofing system stable and durable to the elements. Designed as structural support devices that sit beneath the roof’s sheeting materials – tiles, steel sheeting, or slate, for example – purlins hold the roof itself together and prevent outward forces from breaking the roofing.
While they may seem to play a secondary role in construction purlins are vital for keeping a home’s roof stable and safe. Roofs built without purlins can ‘cave’ into their structure, making them a danger to the building’s inhabitants. As such, all buildings are constructed with purlins, although not all buildings use steel materials.
Purlins can be purchased by length and size, making them ideal for buildings and construction projects where the roof is made to non-standard dimensions. This durability and flexibility has made them a preferred choice for builders nationwide.
