A purlin is a horizontal beam across a roof or doorway that holds the weight above, as far as I know.

I thought it was to do with knitting 😀 😉

somehow cant see you knitting Marcella 😀 😀 😀

Just done a bit of searching, it seems that purlings are ‘ceiling supports’. Dunno what they have to do with signage tho!

Your’re right there Harry …. not my bag! 😀 I’m more into embroidery and cross stitch actually 😉 😀

Some sign maker I am!

I thought that was a lintel?

They are also used in Mezzanine Floors, it could be that the customer is after clips to attach to the "purlings" to suspend signage from? We have a Mezzanine Floor and when the suspended ceilings were fitted underneath the Mezzanine they used such clips!
Wouldn’t know where to get them from though!

I thought a support over a door was a lintel, No not the same as you put in soup though before any of the ladies ask 😉 purlins or purlines are the longditudeal beas that connect the main rafters or uprights of a roof or building, used to fix the cladding or roof panels to.

A lintel is something different (I put that on his invoices too) – He’s a carpenter, by the way! I am very tempted to phone him again to ask what a lintel is now, but he’ll probably moan coz he’s working on a roof(men don’t seem to be able to "multitask" as well as us ladies!!)
-
Yeah sorry it’s the support for the roof, like Peter said, and stops it from sagging. The lintel goes over the door…
(and in vegetarian curries as well as soups)

Now that sounds like a sensible answer!

spot on Chris, thats what I was trying to say, a ‘lintel’ is Peter telling his wife she’s wanted on the phone 😀 😀 😀 😀

Cammy,
If it is these clips that you are after, I have one here on my desk (I remembered I acquired a few when the ceiling guys wern’t looking!!), and I could post it to you, then if it is what the customer wants I will find out from the ceiling guys where they get them.
Chris.

Knitting, lentils, mezzanine ………..This is a very "General discussion" showing how diverse signmakers are :thread:
Here are a selection of purline clips, usually available from Electrical wholesalers or online with RS. B-Line fastners are another make.
Apologies for the loooooooooong link
-
So who’s going to be the first to make a soup out of these clips
Even worse: a knitted jumper!Why not jewelry? That would be a clip around the ear :wedgey:

I think he has but they’re video clips
-
No John, that’s the XXX nickerline clips ………..
Here you go Lynn
1 lb ripe mangoes, peeled, seeded and cut into pieces
5 Type1 vertical suspension Zpurlin fixing
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup milk, up to 1 1/2
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp fresh grated or ground nutmeg
Garnish M8 galvanised nutsIn a blender or food processor or metal granulator, puree the mango with the yogurt, milk, sugar, Zpurlin fixing, cinnamon and nutmeg until you achieve the smoothness you desire. For thinner soup, add more milk to taste. Chill and serve as a cold soup. For dessert, add less milk for a thicker, richer tasting pudding-like consistency. Serve in dessert cups and garnish with threaded nuts M8 or M6 for a finer texture.
