Concrete Lintels

Concrete Lintels

Concrete Lintels are pre-stressed and are made from high strength concrete (65MPA) giving the lintels their superior structural capacity. The load carrying capacity of Ultralintel’s increases significantly. Because concrete lintels are made from such high quality concrete, they are much more durable than steel lintels- product is ideal for use in extreme corrosive environments such as coastal locations.

Installation- Following instructions is very detrimental for successful installations. It is ideal to have a builder or bricklayer install the lintels. Below are given instructions.

• Lintels must be placed with the rough side facing up in order to provide a proper key into the mortar above.
• Lintels must be propped at intervals not exceeding 1500mm until the mortar has matured.
• The minimum bearing onto the brickwork is 100mm (spans up to 1200mm) and 150mm (spans > 1200mm). This is based on the assumption of a minimum brick crushing strength of 20 MPA.

Other Sizes available on Request- Our two lintel sizes are created to be easily rendered as well as are lined with plasterboard- option of external sheeting. Our goal is to have these lintels suit standard brick courses, but if we don’t have your size, we are happy to come to a consensus for your needs.
