C-Grits
SBS Cee Grits are complementary products used in walls of structural steel buildings. We offer exceptional versatility due to our unique sizing options. Our nominal depth of the sections varies from 4″ (101.6mm) to 12″ (304.8mm), and comes in a wide range of gauges from 12-20. Perfect for supporting roofs and walls, these purlins deliver enhanced structural integrity and are easy to install. Their durability makes them ideal for agricultural, commercial, and industrial structures.
Material:
ASTM A653 HSLAS Standard, for galvanized steel
Available coatings:
Galvanized, Z275 (G90)
Manufactured in Canada:
Beausejour, Manitoba
Benefits of Grits:
- Wide Range of Sizes: Available in section depths from 4″ (101.6mm) up to 12″ (304.8mm) to suit diverse structural needs.
- Significant Material Savings: Recent studies indicate that switching from hot-rolled channels to cold-formed C or Z section girts can reduce material usage by 33% to 60%.
- Enhanced Safety: The lightweight nature of cold-formed girts makes them easier and safer to handle on-site.
- Faster Installation: The consistent, thinner surface of the girt flanges allows for quick and effortless fastening.
- Zero Manufacturing Waste: Automated production ensures each section is cut to exact lengths, eliminating waste and delivering substantial cost savings.
- Streamlined Project Schedules: With girts manufactured in advance at dedicated facilities, structural steel fabricators can focus on core fabrication tasks, helping to accelerate your overall project timeline.

Product Designation Example
example: 1000C295-99
1000 = Section depth (6 inches or 152.4mm)
C = C-Sections
295 = Flange width (2.95 inches or 75mm)
99 = Minimum steel thickness in 1/1000ths inches (i.e. 95% of the design thickness) 99/1000 = 0.099” or 2.51mm
