Tiger Profiles and Insulation’s facilities are well equipped for producing Z-Purlins and C-Channels, which are the secondary structural members used to support the roof sheeting and wall cladding.
Besides being economical to use, the Z-Purlins and C-Channels provide excellent strength to weight ratio. The Z and C Channels are manufactured from galvanized coils conforming to ASTM – A 653, Grade D with a yield strength of 345Mpa. The range of purlins produced by TPI varies in depth from 100mm to 450mm and the related thickness varies upto 3mm thereby allowing them to cater to large spans of upto 11m.
The flange widths, lip sizes and flange angles of the sections can be set to be manufactured based on individual client needs. The same is true of the anti-sag rods and connection fasteners as well as the Z and C Channels which are customized in size to provide the flexibility of the connection to the main structure whether by utilizing the overlapped system or the sleeved system.
In parallel to its productions of these purlins, TPI also manufacturers one of the most efficient sag rod products available on the market today. The use of these sag rods has been proven to reduce the installation time by more than 80% in comparison to the other available sag rods.
TPI’s purlins are incorporated into projects throughout the region, including but not limited to the Barsha Mall project and the Solar panel system at the Masdar Development in Abu Dhabi.
