recycling of waste materials and
prudent use of all resources, BW
Industries take responsibility for
managing environmental issues.
BW Industries Purlin Division

carries out design and
manufacture of light steel pregalvanised steel purlins and
sheeting rails.
BW standard sections range
from 121mm to 341mm with
thicknesses from 1.2mm to 3mm
and the systems are available
in Zed or Cee section profiles
which are manufactured from
pre-galvanised steel coil with a
guaranteed yield strength of 450
N/mm2.
In addition we also offer bespoke
sections ranging from 50mm to
500mm with thicknesses from
0.5mm to 6mm, manufactured to
individual clients requirements.

Design and Certication
Design Software
Detailing
Ordering and Manufacture
BW Industries have developed

software for the design of purlins,
eaves beams, sheeting rails and
mezzanine floor beams. This is
provided as an aid to designers and
specifiers to allow selection of the
optimum section.
BW Industries produce standard

detailing sheets which allow
detailers to order standard
sections and components.
The information on these sheets
is used to generate a CAM data
file which is then fed directly
into the manufacturing system.
In order to facilitate the ordering

process, BW Industries have
a range of standard drawings
and detail sheets which can be
completed by the client. These
are then used to prepare an
acknowledgment, which itemises
precisely what is required. The
information on drawings and detail
sheets is programmed into a cam
data file which is transmitted
directly to the rolling of fabrication
plant.
It has been developed following

extensive testing of sections
under the SCI (Steel Construction
Institute), which was undertaken
to accurately determine bending
capacities.
The software has been developed
by a chartered structural engineer
and has been independently
checked and verified by the SCI.
Fully comprehensive technical
support is available from our design
team.
Standard details are available

on a number of electronic
draughting packages such as
Autocad and Tekla.
BW Industries also have facilities
to produce detail drawings as
required for any project.
Non standard sections and
non standard hole sizes
and or punchings can be
accommodated on request.
Ancillary items are produced in

conjunction with the manufacture of
major components.
All major components are normally
ink jet printed to show what they
are and from which materials they
have been formed. This process
is so that there is a trail which
shows exactly what has been
manufactured.

resistances. The section
properties are calculated in
accordance with BS-EN 1993-1-3
(Design of steel structures,, Part
1-3 General rules Supplementary
rules for cold-formed members and
sheeting BSI 2006).
CE Marking
BW Industries Limited

third party assessed against
EN 1090-1:2009+A1 2011, by SGS
UK. We achieved accreditation to
EXC2 and standard ISO 14731 and
ISO 3834.
Certification
BW Industries have developed design software
based on the methodology in the relevant European
standards and extensive testing of their product range.
This information has been independently assessed
and approved by the SCI who are an internationally
recognized authority in the field of light gauge
steelwork design and construction.
BW Industries are pleased to display the SCI logo
and to confirm that their products have achieved
SCI Assessed status with the
appropriate certification.
This certification covers the

following products: Steel

experienced personnel who hand
pick the items for dispatch and
load these onto the vehicles that
have been arranged for onward
transportation.
Depending on the end users
requirements, specialist vehicles
with on board lifting equipment can
be arranged to facilitate off-loading
at the delivery address.

Purlins Sleeved System
Single Span
Double Span
The sleeved purlin system is suitable for buildings with two

or more bays and utilises single span length purlins with
sleeves. The sleeves are formed from the same section as
the purlins but are installed inverted.
The sleeves, which achieve a high degree of continuity over the

purlin supports are fitted at all penultimate rafter connections and
staggered on all internal bays, allow economy of purlin section
selection.
The system can be used for single span purlins and for double
span purlins.

Lap System
Purlins Lap System
The lap system is a further variation of the sleeved system which

is suitable for buildings with five or more bays. Extended single
span purlins are alternatively inverted and overlapped with each
other.
The lapped section has the benefit of achieving a high degree of
continuity over the purlin supports thus allowing economic section
selection.
The avoidance of sleeves means that there are fewer system
components leading to reduced site erection time.

Roof Variations
Monopitch Roof
Use the
BW Building
Wizard
Software
for accurate
calculations
For monopitch and other roofs where there is no restraint to the

ridge purlin via apex ties an equivalent anchor must be used
(ie threaded bar). This may take the form of a simple tie to a
substantial ridge beam or alternatively by a combination of struts
and diagonal bracing between the top two purlins.
Restraints should be used at mid-span for purlin spans greater than
3.5m and at third points of span for purlin spans greater than 7.5m.
For long roof slopes additional diagonal bracing may be required
depending on sheeting.
Tiled/Mansard Roof
These types of roof covering may cause bending about both

axes of the roof purlins due to their weight. In order to provide
adequate restraint roof ties should be used in lieu of anti sag ties.
The ridge purlins should be tied using a rigid apex strut. Diagonal
bracing wires are required between the top two purlins. Additional
diagonal bracing will be required for every 6m length
of roof slope.
The struts should be arranged such that the maximum
unrestrained purlin length is restricted to 2m.
The timber rafters should be joined across the apex or be fixed
to a ridge board.
BW Purlins
20

Roof Variations contd
Non-restraining Cladding to Roof
Many modern cladding systems do not provide

adequate lateral restraint to the top flange of the
purlins. In this situation it is necessary to replace the
standard anti-sag ties with angle strut braces.
The struts should be arranged such that the maximum
unrestrained purlin length is restricted to 2m.
Steep Roof
For roof pitches greater than 25 diagonal bracing

should always be provided.
These diagonal wires used in conjunction with angle
strut sag bars allow for bending about both axes of
the purlin.
Rigid apex ties are also required.

n BW Snaptite Ties also prevent the purlin from rotating during
installation whilst assisting with restraining the bottom flange

against wind uplift. The rigidity of the purlin is greatly enhanced
once the roof sheeting is installed
n BW Snaptite Anti-sag Ties should be fitted when a purlin span is
in excess of 4.6m so that the laterally unsupported length does

not exceed 3.8m. For Z301 & Z341 Purlins use sheeting rail type
angle braces (as diagram) above.

above 4 degrees. This can require that temporary props/

bars are used until the sheeting is fixed. The maximum spans
without ties are:

Door and Window Trimming
Cee Section members are ideal for framing
doors and windows.
When the sections are arranged so that the
web is orientated towards the opening, a
flush surface is able to accept fixing of the
door and window frames.
The flush surface is achieved by using either
flush rivets or counterformed holes and
packer plates, in conjunction with standard
trimmer cleats which are sized to suit the
sheeting rail section being used.

In certain applications it is necessary to include fire protection to some or all of the perimeter walls around the building. There are many fire
resistant wall cladding systems which are available today.
Fixing system 1
Fixing system 2
Outside Columns
Butt/Non-Continuous Rail Arrangement, normally fixed outside

the columns, but can also be fitted between the columns. Allow
60mm gap at rail joint for expansion.
Inside Columns
Sleeved Rail Arrangement. Alternate sleeve butt/non-continuous

connection to column, even number of bays. When odd bays occur,
use the special sleeve. Allow 60mm gap at rail joints for expansion.
Firewall Sleeves
General Notes
The rail or cleat is slotted longitudinally (14mm x 50mm) on the
standard gauge lines. 60mm gap required between ends of rails.
Fixing bolts to all joints must be fitted with a combustible washer.
This will collapse under fire conditions, to allow movement for the
rail to expand.
The period of resistance is solely dependent on the cladding
material used, and the type of construction. A certificate should be
obtained from the cladding supplier.
All primary structural steelwork, supporting the rails and cladding,
should be fire protected.
