C-Section
Metsec plc The z and c-section butt side rail systems are suitable for buildings with single bays or more and offers a simple cleat connection to z or c-section side rails. This system is intended for smaller buildings, short or uneven spans or light loading conditions.

The z and c-section butt systems cater for spans of up to 15m depending on the load to be applied and where the cladding or liner tray offers adequate lateral support by virtue of its screw fixings at 600mm maximum spacing to the side rails.

The z and c-section butt systems cater for single bays and can therefore be used in conjunction with other systems or as a system in their own right.
