TuffSpan™ Fiberglass Purlins & Girts

Composite Beams for High Loads & Long Spans 

TuffSpan flanged tube beams are designed to deliver high load and long span capability plus corrosion resistance. Used for building structures, baffle wall columns and support of tank cover decking, they are also used in secondary framing on pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB), FRP or fabricated structural steel buildings in new build or retrofit construction. The flanged tube shape increases structural properties and contributes to easy installation.

TuffSpan FRP purlins and girts utilize an iso-polyester or vinyl resin system to provide outstanding corrosion protection and is fire retardant with a flame spread rating of 25 or less. The resulting combination of corrosion resistance, non-conductivity and long span capability delivers significant life cycle cost savings.

FRP Purlin and Girt Benefits:

• Corrosion Resistance — Engineered for Corrosive Applications
• Fire Retardancy — Tested Flame-Spread Rating of 25 or Less
• Tubular Shape — Flanged Tube Shape Provides Lateral Stability, Eliminating the Need for Sag Rods or for Lateral Bracing, Plates or Angles on Primary Framing, Even for Long Spans
• Lightweight — for Easier and Safer Installation
• Excellent Strength-to-Weight Ratio — Carry Greater Load than I-Beams at 15-30% Less Weight
• Ready To Install — We can deliver your beams prefabricated for faster installation
• Manufactured in the USA — ISO 9001:2015 Compliant Facility
