C-Sections
 Hayes Cladding's range
of C-Sections provide useful structural solutions to an array of
construction and industrial applications, e.g. Mezzanine Floor
beams, cladding rails, structural support members (gable rafters
and columns), window and door trimmers, brickworks restraints and
wind bracing.
These
cold formed structural channel sections are manufactured from high
tensile Z39 steel, are pre-galvanised so no additional finish is
required and satisfy the requirements of BS5950: Part 5 (1998).
Their high strength to weight ratio enable practical substitution for hot
rolled steel sections whilst easing installation and site
handling.
Features
-
Pre-Galvanised
- no additional finishing or painting required
-
Pre-punched holes -minimising assembly time and errors
-
Wide range of sections, gauges and spans to suit an
array of applications
Applications
-
Side rails -
Our C-sections are compatible with the Z-purlin range and
can be used as a substitute.
-
Mezzanine floors
- C-sections can be used either as primary or secondary floor
beams in mezzanine floors.
-
Parapet posts
- used in a 'back to back' formation, C-sections provide a cost
effective alternative to hot rolled sections in a parapet
situation.
-
Brick work
restraints - as an alternative to hot rolled sections,
C-sections used to restrain brick work offer benefits of
significant cost savings, light weight on-site handling and no
additional finishing.
-
Door posts /
windows - C-sections can also be utilised for framing doors
and windows. Due to the fact that the sections are the same size
as Z-purlins, alignment on-site can be achieved with minimal
effort.

Fixing Details
Side rail butted system
The butted system offers a simple cleat connection (the cleat is
welded or bolted to the hot rolled steel section) where two
butted C-sections are fastened directly to the cleat. This is
suitable for smaller
buildings, short or uneven span or light loading applications.
This system can also
cater for single bay situations, therefore can be
used in
conjunction with other cladding
support systems. Spans of up to 8m can be accommodated,
depending on the
loads involved,
where the cladding or the liner tray
offers the correct lateral support by
the way it
has been fixed.
Side rail sleeved system
This system is primarily for spanning over two or more bays.
The sleeved system
incorporates a cold rolled sleeve to
which two C-sections are
bolted to the cleat. For technical advise,
contact our sales department.

Application Examples
C-Section used in a window application
C-Section used as a brickwork support
C-Sections used in a mezzanine 'raised floor'
application where the C-sections are laid on
top of the hot rolled section, supporting the floor
C-Sections used in a mezzanine floor 'flush beam' application
where the C-sections are positioned flush between hot rolled steel
supporting beams
