260x100x3.5mm Steel C Plus Profile, Mill Finish
The 260x100x3.5mm steel C Plus profile is a cold roll-formed channel with double edge lips: 260 mm web, 100 mm flanges, 25 mm lips with a return and 3.5 mm thickness, 13.81 kg/m. Roll-formed to order in Aluzinc steel, it is used where a heavier purlin, column or beam section is needed. This page shows the size in Aluzinc: steel strip with an aluminium–zinc alloy coating. The steel grade is confirmed in the quotation.
Made to Order — Roll Formed
This profile is roll-formed to order in your length (1–25 m). The minimum order is 5000 kg per size and material. Add your sizes to a quote request and we confirm lead time and price.

Applications & Usage
C+ 260x100x3.5 is used for load-bearing purlins and facade rails, and as columns and beams in warehouses and light steel buildings. Holes can be punched to your drawing. Aluzinc is chosen for roof and cladding substructures and other outdoor members where an aluminium–zinc coating is specified. Each size is roll-formed to order in lengths from 1 to 25 m. The minimum order is 5000 kg per size and material — add your sizes to a quote request and we confirm lead time and delivered price.
