TOPSPAN

LYSAGHT TOPSPAN has been used in the building and construction industry for many decades in commercial and residential applications. Applications include sheds, garages, carports, and as ceiling and roof battens as well as for racking, fencing and handyman projects. There’s a TOPSPAN profile that’s right for your next job.

Features and benefits of TOPSPAN® profiles:
• Versatile TOPSPAN® profiles are an economical, lightweight steel alternative to timber battens or the smaller light gauge purlins
• TOPSPAN® is quick and easy to install because they can be lapped, eliminating the time-consuming process of cutting to length.
• Consistent straightness simplifies alignment
• Lightweight – for easy handling and minimal labour
• Ease of installation – easy fixing with self-drilling screws through the bottom flanges with simple, fast lapping direct to supports without the need for cleats
• Stability during installation – directly laid on top of supports with no added support method or labour required
• TOPSPAN’s compact bundles are easily stacked, stored and transported

TOPSPAN® sections will perform as specified if design, fabrication and fixing are in accordance with our recommendations and good trade practice.

The TOPSPAN® capacities given in this publication have been generated from a comprehensive full-scale testing program conducted at the LYSAGHT® Research & Technology NATA- accredited testing facility. The testing also provided a thorough understanding of the real-life behaviour of the TOPSPAN® profiles under load.

The performance of the TOPSPAN profiles is backed by Lysaght, with over 150 years experience in building products, thus assuring quality and consistency in product profile and straightness.

Roll-formed from quality high-tensile Australian steel, TOPSPAN is coated for corrosion-free long life. It is 100% recyclable, and it won’t warp, twist, splinter, rot and won’t be attacked by termites.

The material will not ignite, spread flame or smoke and thus is non- combustible.
