WHAT IT IS

Roof batten / Z-purlin in light-gauge GI is a cold-formed galvanised steel secondary member that runs horizontally across C-purlins to provide the direct fixing surface for clay tiles, fibre cement tiles, or corrugated metal sheeting in Malaysian roof construction. Standard length is 6 m; profile dimensions are 35 mm × 60 mm or 63 mm × 26 mm × 32 mm; steel thickness is typically 0.45–0.47 mm GI. The Z-section interlocks with adjacent lengths for continuous span runs. Battens are fixed at gauge intervals matching the tile head lap, with roofing screws driven directly through. HS 7210619200 · import duty 15% · SST 5%. Lightweight design reduces overall roof dead load, important for long-span lightweight steel truss systems widely used in Malaysia.
