Purlins & top hats
Ideal for supporting roofing, cladding and other structural elements, our steel top hats and purlins are lightweight yet robust — making them easy to transport and install on-site.
We offer a variety of C and Z-purlins, and top hats, for roofing. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right purlins for your project.
C-purlins
Archetype Purlins™ made to support roof and wall sheeting. Suitable for a variety of industrial, commercial, construction and civil applications.
C-purlins are manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel to support roof and wall sheeting (suitable for moderate to steep slopes). All materials conform to AS 1397. Due to their shape, C-purlins usually don’t require complex fixings.
Z-purlins
Z-section Archetype Purlins™ that support roof and wall sheeting. These products can be used in a range of industrial, commercial, construction and civil applications.
All Z-purlins are made from high-quality galvanised steel, to support roof and wall sheeting (ideal for flat or slightly sloping roofs). They conform to AS 1397.
The “z” shape demands more complex fixings, but also creates a stronger, more durable frame.
Metal top hats
Metal top hats provide secondary support for roof or wall cladding. They’re suitable for a range of building applications, including commercial, residential and industrial jobs.
They’re light, strong, durable and fire-resistant (making them preferred over timber by construction professionals across Australia).
Use top hats when installing Zammit’s Rapid Clad, Rapid Seam, or Rapid Line.
