Gate edge channel PW-C 100 for 100 mm sandwich panels

Cold-formed steel sections use their cross-sectional shape to carry loads in steel structures. Z sections, channels and Sigma profiles can serve different roles in roofs, walls and secondary steelwork. At SteelProfil we match the order to the project specification, including dimensions, steel thickness and the preparation required for assembly.

Section shape affects load response and how connections can be made. Select Z, channel and Sigma sections for the specified span, loading and support arrangement. In a hall they may support roofing or act as side rails, according to the structural drawings. This lets the designer make effective use of section properties in relation to weight and plan the steel quantity accordingly.

• Different cross-sections suit different functions in the frame.
• Choosing dimensions and thickness from the design helps make efficient use of the steel.
• Preparing lengths and hole patterns to suit the layout simplifies repeated connections.

Match the sections, supports and fasteners to the planned sandwich panels or steel cladding. When ordering, provide the length and drawing reference for each member. This makes it easier to prepare the schedule and separate roof from wall components. On larger sites, consistent references help schedule deliveries in erection order and distribute sections to the correct parts of the building.

Galvanised sections can be supplied cut to length and with an agreed hole pattern. Confirm the preparation required for the particular order. Accurate dimensions are especially important on refurbishments, where new sections must fit the existing frame. Provide this information so the material arrives ready for its intended use in the workshop or on site.

SteelProfil can supply the framing sections together with the cladding. Panels and sheets are available in first and second grades, with selected lots ready from stock. Structural sections are priced from the specified cross-section, steel thickness, length and hole pattern. An itemised quote shows which components are prepared for the project and which can be selected from stock.

Competitive prices and offers on selected materials can help you plan a hall or service building. Send the section schedule and dimensioned drawings. We will check quantities and coordinate them with the rest of the order. Identifying the section and role of each member makes preparation and erection easier.
