Purlins & Rails
Purlins and rails form the secondary steel framework that supports roofing and cladding systems and helps maintain structural alignment.
They sit between the primary steel frame and the external envelope, providing fixing lines for roof and wall cladding while helping distribute loads back into the main structure. This contributes to stability under wind loading and other environmental forces. Available in a range of profiles, depths and thicknesses, they can be selected to suit different spans, loadings and project requirements.
Gordian Building Solutions supplies a range of purlins and rails for use with metal roofing and cladding systems. Designed for strength, accuracy and long-term performance, they provide a practical support framework across industrial, commercial and agricultural buildings.
