Lavenda High Tensile C-Purlins........ Consistently Durable

Lavenda High Tensile C-Purlins is produced from high tensile zinc-galvanised steel using the cold
roll forming process to ensure a high degree of accuracy and consistency in the dimensions of the
formed purlin. The design of lightweight and high strength steel with zinc coated finishing, various
hole punch process and cut customised to customers' specifications provide efficient erection upon
delivery that does not need further fabrication and painting work at site. The erected purlins also
require minimal maintenance throughout the life of the building.
 Benefits & Features
Lavenda High Tensile C-Purlins have become an indispensable part of many home, office, factory and high rise
building. Lavenda High Tensile C-Purlins have many advantages over the conventional material and so the
construction industry largely depends on them. The glaring advantage of purlins is their high load bearing
capacity. They are light weight and you can carry them easily to any distance from the manufacturing site.

Other important advantages include their mold resistance and damp proof quality. In addition, Lavenda High
Tensile C-Purlins machined products are energy efficient. Made using a forming machine and hot-dip galva-
nized steel, purlins are recyclable as well.

Design Flexibility
The most attractive roof design can be framed with CSM's All Steel
Roofing System, so you can have it all… beauty, strength and durability.
ADVANTAGES
TO HOME OWNERS Easy Remodelling
Remodelling CSM's All Steel Roofing System is easy. Non-load bearing
walls can be easily removed, altered or relocated without compromising
the system's integrity. Additional roof members can be utilised if the
home is expanded.

Fire Resistant ADVANTAGES TO THE BUILDERS

Steel is noncombustible and does not burn.
Saves Time
Termite Resistant Steel members can be pre-punched and custom-cut at CSM's factory,
Termites and other wood-destroying insects cannot infest steel. That then brought to the construction site and assembled.
means your CSM All Steel Roofing System is resistant to termite damage.
Lightweight
Strength & Hurricane Resistant CSM's steel frames are lightweight and easy to maneouvre during
Because of its strength and design, CSM's All Steel Roofing System installation.
provides outstanding resistance against earthquakes and hurricane
winds up to 110 mph.

In fact, CSM's All Steel Roofing System can be designed to meet the
highest seismic and wind-load specifications anywhere in the Caribbean.

Cost Effective
CSM's All Steel Roofing System requires virtually no maintenance,
saving the expense and headache of early roofing repairs. CSM's Framing
System is less expensive than traditional wood framing and eliminates
wastage.

Durable
CSM's All Steel Roofing System is longer lasting and durable. CSM's All
Steel Roofing System will not crack, warp, twist, rot, split or settle like
wood framing might. Steel has a natural resistance to decay, discoloration
and mildew.

Design Principle for Purlin Selection Tables
The purlin selection tables are derived based on BS 5950 : Part 5 : 1987 'Code of 4) DEFLECTION
Practice for design of cold formed sections' Under serviceability limit state, the limiting deflection under total load is L/150
1) Purlin is simply supported with pinned joints over supports. whereas under live load. It is only L/180 (where L is the purlin span).
2) ROOF PITCH 5) DESIGN STRENGTH Py
The purlin selection tables are only applicable for roof pitch less than or equal The design strength Py for purlin is to be taken as the minimum yield strength
to 30 of 350N/mm2
3) LOADING
Besides dead load arising from roof self weight, the purlins are designed based
on a live load of 0.25KN/m2 (Malaysian Building Bylaw Clause 63) and wind load
(uplift) of 0.50KN / m2 respectively.
i) 1.4 D.L. + 1.6 L.L. (The most severe inward loading combination)
ii) 1.0 D.L. + 1.4W.L. (The most sever outward loading combination)
