Benefits
GALVASPAN® steel, made only by BlueScope Steel, is a special grade of high strength, hot-dipped galvanised steel strip. It's been specifically developed for purlins and girts, and is cold roll-formed into a wide range of sizes.
There’s plenty of reasons why you should ask only for GALVASPAN® steel when specifying or ordering purlins and girts.
Readily Available
GALVASPAN® steel is manufactured in Australia by BlueScope Steel.
Our Australia-wide customer/distributor network is your best assurance of timely site delivery, no matter where you are.
Greater Spanning Capabilities
You can span further and potentially save on overall construction costs.
GALVASPAN® steel is made from hi-tensile steel, which means it has a strength-to-weight ratio approximately 60% greater than hot rolled steel.
In short, it’s strong and durable.
Easier to Handle
The higher strength-to-lower weight ratio means purlins made from GALVASPAN® steel are easier to transport and handle on site.
Cladding Fixes Easier and Faster
Because of the relatively thin profile of purlins made from GALVASPAN® steel, fixing of roof and wall cladding is fast and easy with self-drilling, self-tapping screws.
Low Maintenance Costs
The continuously hot-dipped galvanised finish of GALVASPAN® steel is superior to post painting in terms of toughness, adhesion and corrosion resistance. This means it stands up better during handling, erection and over the life of the structure, reducing maintenance costs.
Backed by BlueScope Steel
