USES OF THE CANAL C
Channel C being one of the popular irons certainly has its own privileges. One of the special things is the various benefits or functions that this material can produce. Here are some of the C channel functions:
Purlin.
Many buildings use purlins in building them. Purlin or also known as seat beam is used to support the weight of the object above it.
Roof truss.
Large and tall buildings such as warehouses and factories usually use C canal for roof trusses. Because the roof frame is strong and sturdy and saves maintenance costs.
Building Fence.
Channel C which has strong and strong properties makes this type of iron suitable for use as a building fence. The shape of the C channel itself is very adequate and sturdy. Its high-tech manufacture creates a precise channel shape. In addition, this iron is termite resistant and rust resistant.
C channel iron is usually in the market measuring 6 meters, only the dimensions vary. The building fence has a variety of dimensions from 60 mm to 200 mm. Another advantage why canal C was chosen as a building fence because it is very easy to install.
Wall Covering.
This material can also be used for building fences. Of course you have seen the walls in a building or buildings covered by metal. Well, the metal is C channel iron.
Architectural Component Frames.
Channel C functions as an architectural component frame. Iron is used as a material or frame material to form its components.

ADVANTAGES OF THE CANAL C
Strong and Durable.
One of the advantages of Channel C is that it is strong and durable, even though this type of steel is light. Materials that will not rust and withstand extreme weather are able to protect homes, buildings and buildings to the maximum.
The constituent materials have been refined so that the C channel iron will be more durable. Compared to using wood that is easily porous or conventional steel which is easy to rust. Not only that, C channel iron is thinner than ordinary steel but does not expand and shrink easily.
Lightweight and Easy to install.
The weight of mild steel is about 9 kg / m2. Its lightweight nature makes this iron easy to install. Not only suitable for large buildings or projects, canal C is also suitable to be installed at home. Because it is easy to install, of course you can install it yourself without hiring a handyman.
High Tensile Tensile.
Iron Channel C is more flexible than other types of roofing materials. Flexibility in the frame is very important in a building, because the greater the tensile stress of the roof, the more energy it can absorb. The tensile stress of C channel iron is around 550 Mpa which is of course much greater than conventional steel which only has a tension of 300 MPa.
Easy to shape and connect.
Another advantage is that it is easy to form and connect according to the desired roof frame shape.
Roof Frame Form Varies.
The advantage is that it is light in weight which makes it easy to shape the iron and make the roof model as desired. The formation of C channel iron must also be adjusted to the weight of the load it supports. The maximum distance to install the frame is 150 cm.
Can be recycled.
Another advantage is that it can be recycled. The remaining used can be used again for other parts of construction. You can dismantle the material and then recycle it by melting it and forming it into building materials or house foundations. By using C channel iron for several parts of the house, such as the roof, will certainly help save wood usage.
Anti-rust.
Termites are small animals that destroy wood and structures as targets. If you use C channel iron, of course you will avoid termite attacks and this one canal is anti-rust because the metal used is high quality metal.
LACK OF CANAL C
Besides there are several advantages, of course a product will also have disadvantages, along with the disadvantages of Channel C:
Easy to get carried away by the wind.
The character of the lightweight iron makes the C channel iron easily blown away by the wind. Therefore, in installing and choosing a roof frame, you must be careful and well prepared. Because if the election is wrong, there is a bad possibility that the frame will be carried away by the wind when there is a big wind or when the rainy season arrives.
The connection method on the C channel frame uses only bolts. Well, this connector also supports the channel that is blown away by the wind.
Prices are quite high.
The price of C channel iron can be said to be not cheap
