Secondary Framing
Secondary framing enhances structural stability by supporting roof and wall panels. Purlins, girts, and eave struts are included in the secondary structural members.
Crafted from high-grade steel conforming to ASTM A 607 Grade 50 or equivalent, our secondary framing members are available in thicknesses ranging from 1.5 mm to 5 mm. They come with a durable pre-galvanised finish or a factory-applied corrosion protection primer with a minimum of 35 microns (DFT) for enhanced longevity.
Advantages
Long-lasting performance
Fast and easy installation
Quality design
Precise manufacturing
Key Systems of Secondary Framing
EOT Cranes
EOT (Electric Overhead Traveling) Cranes are commonly used in pre-engineered buildings. Suspended from the roof, they travel along two parallel runways, enabling efficient handling of heavy loads. Their versatility makes them ideal for various applications, including manufacturing plants, warehouses, assembly lines, and maintenance or repair shops.
Girts
Girts are horizontal structural members that provide support to wall panels while enhancing lateral stability. In pre-engineered buildings, girts are installed at intervals of 1200 mm to 1500 mm, depending on the size and type of wall panel used. They also support exterior elements such as windows, doors, and roofing panels, ensuring structural integrity and stability.
Purlins
Purlins are horizontal beams that provide essential support to roof panels, especially in regions prone to high winds. By evenly distributing roof loads, they enhance structural integrity. Available in C-shaped and Z-shaped profiles, well-designed purlins not only improve stability but also help reduce construction costs.
Eave Struts
Eave struts are structural members placed at the intersection of the roof and wall and are in the shape of “C”. They play a vital role in maintaining structural integrity and rigidity, ensuring improved strength and performance.
