C-Section / C-Channel / C-Truss (Lightweight Steel Roof Truss & Structural C-Purlin)

Introduction

C-Section (commonly referred to as C-Channel, C-Truss, or C-Purlin) is a cold-formed structural steel profile manufactured in a distinct "C" shape with returned lips for added stiffness. Available in lightweight Aluzinc/Galvanized Iron (GI) options for roof trusses as well as heavy-gauge structural purlins, C-Sections serve as the primary framework for modern roof framing, wall girts, and structural flooring supports across residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects.

Key Features & Advantages

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Delivers superior structural stiffness and load-bearing capacity while maintaining a lightweight profile that reduces overall structural dead load.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Coated with Aluzinc (AZ) or Galvanized Zinc (GI) finish to provide long-lasting protection against rust, oxidation, and humidity.

• Termite & Pest Proof: Completely immune to termite damage, rot, and fungal decay, offering a permanent alternative to traditional timber roof framing.

• Fast & Precision Installation: Cold-rolled to exact dimensions, facilitating quick site assembly, self-drilling screw fastening, and minimal job-site wastage.

Primary Applications

• Lightweight Roof Truss Framing: Main rafters, chords, and web members for residential houses, shop lots, and commercial buildings.

• Industrial Purlins & Girts: Secondary roof framing and wall cladding support rails for warehouses, factories, and agricultural sheds.

• Floor & Canopy Framing: Mezzanine floor joists, car porch framing, walk-way canopies, and temporary structural enclosures.
