Build Stronger Structures with Less Steel

Cold formed steel sections provide an efficient solution for projects requiring high structural performance, reduced weight and accurate factory-made components.

ZSJH Steel produces standard and customized profiles from quality-controlled steel coils. Through precision roll forming, punching and cut-to-length processing, we manufacture ready-to-install steel sections for roofing systems, wall support systems, modular buildings, light steel framing, solar structures and industrial applications.

Customers can order standard C, U and Z sections or submit drawings for specially designed profiles with customized folds, stiffening ribs, holes, slots and protective coatings.

Main Application Scenarios

Roof Purlin Systems

C and Z sections support roofing sheets and transfer roof loads to the primary steel frame. Z sections can be overlapped at supports for continuous-span construction.

Wall Girt Systems

Cold formed channels provide secondary support for wall cladding, insulation systems and exterior panels in industrial buildings.

Light Steel Buildings

C studs, U tracks and custom profiles can be used for walls, floors, roofs and supporting frames in light gauge construction.

Modular and Prefabricated Units

Accurate dimensions and standardized connection holes make cold formed profiles suitable for repeatable factory production and rapid on-site assembly.

Solar Support Structures

Galvanized C channels, slotted profiles and custom mounting sections can be supplied for rooftop and ground-mounted solar systems.

Storage Racks

Perforated upright profiles and reinforced cross members are suitable for warehouse shelving and industrial storage systems.

Façade and Interior Systems

Hat channels, omega profiles and furring channels support façade panels, ceilings, partitions and decorative wall systems.

OEM Manufacturing

Customized profiles can be produced for equipment enclosures, machinery supports, conveyor systems, doors, windows and other industrial products.

Custom Profile Development

For special projects, our team evaluates the complete section design before production.

The customization process includes:

  1. Reviewing the profile drawing or sample

  2. Confirming material grade and thickness

  3. Checking bending radii and section geometry

  4. Evaluating roll-forming feasibility

  5. Confirming holes, slots and tolerances

  6. Developing production tooling when required

  7. Producing and inspecting trial samples

  8. Confirming the sample before batch production

FAQ

Can you manufacture a completely new profile?

Yes. Please send the section drawing, steel thickness, required length and estimated quantity. We will evaluate tooling and production feasibility before quotation.

Which profile is better for roof purlins, C or Z?

C sections are commonly used for simple-span systems, while Z sections can be overlapped at supports for continuous-span arrangements. The final selection should follow the structural design.

Can the sections be supplied with mounting holes?

Yes. Holes and slots can be punched during production according to the approved drawing.

Are galvanized cold formed sections available?

Yes. Pre-galvanized materials and other corrosion-protection options can be supplied based on the required project environment.

Can you control strict dimensional tolerances?

Yes. Required tolerances should be indicated on the drawings and confirmed during the technical review before production.
