Benefits of Girts: 

  • Up to 60% savings in material: A new study shows that replacing hot-rolled channels by cold-formed C or Z section girts result in 33% to 60% of material savings.
  • Safer installation: Cold-formed girts are easily manipulatable due to their light weight, and therefore are safer to use on the job site.
  • Faster installation: Fastening to girt flanges is effortless due to a thinner and constant surface.
  • No waste in manufacturing: The use of automated production equipment eliminates waste by cutting sections to exact lengths which in turn translates into substantial cost savings for customers.
  • Improved overall schedule: Girts are typically manufactured in advance by a dedicated fabrication facility. Therefore, the structural steel fabricator can focus all of its capacity on the fabrication of the structural steel and the overall schedule of the project can be improved.
