Metal Hat Channel Purlin

Pioneer Metals Hat Channel Roof Purlins, also known as omega rails, are high-strength structural members designed to provide a level and rigid substrate for metal roofing and siding panels. Their unique “hat” shape profile offers excellent structural integrity while allowing for efficient screw engagement across the entire building frame. These purlins are essential for creating the necessary air gap and attachment points between the primary building skeleton and the exterior metal skin, ensuring a professional, uniform finish that resists environmental loads.

Quick 2-day order turnaround!

Turn around time for the metal we purchased was only 2 days. Every place we have called was almost 2 weeks out. Needless to say, Metal is ordered and excited to get this building finished. Thank you Pioneer Metal!

Great customer service!

We have used Pioneer Metals for a few things recently. We started out with my husband’s shop, then added on to his shop, and each time we have been treated so well with customer service, quick turn around times, and just overall a wonderful experience. I would recommend them to anyone! Happy customers!
