Industrial shed
Steel portal frames are used for industrial sheds, the portal frames support the external envelope of the building. Cladding systems are formed from profiled coated steel and incorporate insulation to meet building regulation requirements. As the cladding systems typically span 3m, they are supported by secondary members, which transfer the loading to the rafters and columns. For the roof, these members are called purlins; for the walls, they are called cladding rails.
