Buildings with Optimized Structures

The exterior cladding of the building consists of sandwich panels for roofing and walls.

The lightweight structures are steel structures composed of Z-profiles, the type of which is determined by the width of the building:

width up to 8 m: profile height 200mm
width up to 12 m: profile height 220 mm (*)
width up to 15 m: profile height 250 mm (*)
width > 15 m: profile height 300 mm (*)

(*) for widths >10 m, cables with tensioners must be used to stabilize the structure.

Z - PROFILE

APPLICATION

The Z-profiles are ideal and solid support for a range of walls and roofs in the building industry.

They settle easily on the frame and guarantee a well balanced fixation.

The Z-profile is a galvanized profile formed in cold, which replaces easily the wood or the flattened profile.

STANDARD EXECUTION

Cold formed profile in Z shape in flat wall at right angles to each others.
Galvanized steel according to EN10346

Height : 140 mm to 300 mm
Thickness steel sheet : 1.50 mm, 2.00 mm, 2.50 mm
Length : until 12000 mm
Length leaky and drilled at your needs
Perforation : Ø 14 mm, 16 mm or 18 mm

An economical solution

The Z-profiles can be used as purlins of roof and ribbands of bardage. In comparaison with hot-rolled profiles, the use of the purlins or ribbands in Z-profile allows a weight reduction until 50 %.

The minimized weight allows an easy manipulation.

Finishing	galvanized	to treat
Fixation	bolted	Soldered or bolted
Production	Custom made and perforated	To saw and to perforate
Length (m)	12 m and more	12 m

ADVANTAGES

We propose a complete range of Z -profiles for reaches going to 12 meters. These profiles adapt to all the constructions.
Our wide range of Z-profiles allows the manufacturers to realize projects in a fast and economic way.
The volume of the parcel and transport costs are reduced by the shape and the fitting of the Z-profiles which results in a big ease and speed in the unloading and the assembly on construction site.
