A "C purlin" refers to a type of structural support member used in construction.
Purlins are horizontal beams that provide support for the load of the roof deck or the sheathing.
The "C" shape of the purlin is due to its cross-sectional profile resembling the letter "C."
These purlins are commonly used in metal building systems, but they can also be found in other types of construction.
C purlins are available in various sizes to accommodate different structural requirements.
The size is determined by factors such as the span of the roof or wall, the expected loads, and local building codes.
C purlins are typically installed horizontally and attached to the main structural frame of the building.
They may be spaced at regular intervals along the length of the structure.
