Secondary Framing Components for Metal Wall Panels
Sub-girts, Purlins, and More
Secondary framing components that support metal wall panels and transfer loads to the primary framing. These components, including sub-girts, purlins, and miscellaneous components, provide structural support and facilitate the attachment of cladding materials.
What Are the Two Key Types of Secondary Framing Components?
Sub-girts and Purlins
- Sub-Girts: Horizontal structural members that support wall panels and transfer loads to the primary framing. They are typically available in Z-bar, hat, channel, and angle profiles.
- Purlins: Horizontal structural members that support roof panels and transfer loads to the primary framing. They are commonly available in Cee and Zee profiles.
What Material Types and Finishes Are Available In NEXGEN’s Secondary Framing Components?
Various & Pre-engineered
Our secondary framing components are available in various thicknesses of steel and aluminum. They are also offered in coatings that include galvanized, anodized, and various paint systems. Pre-engineered offerings are also available.
What Should You Consider When Selecting Secondary Framing Components?
Material to Compliance
- Material and Finish: Choose materials and finishes that align with the project’s durability and aesthetic requirements. Options include galvanized steel, painted steel, aluminum, and stainless steel.
- Profile and Gauge: Select profiles (e.g., Z-bar, Cee, Zee) and gauges that meet structural requirements and facilitate efficient installation.
- Non-conductive Materials: Structural thermal break materials provide a combination of low thermal conductivity and high compressive strength. NEXGEN panel systems work with most of the leading pre-engineered materials.
- Compliance: Ensure that components meet relevant building codes and standards for structural integrity and safety.
