The standard prestressed lintels are cost-effective and very versatile. Most can be reversed, and concrete can be cut to length.

They are also easy to install and can be used for a variety of applications. These include internal partitions, external cavity walls, garages, and over services.

The cavity lintel range is supplied with captive insulation to ensure that it is not displaced. The fabricated ranges are manufactured with a proven non-welded method creating a secure connection that has not compromised the galvanised protection.

Additional installation requirements for lintels supporting concrete floor units

• Check that the correct lintel has been installed.

• Minimum recommended lintel depth is 140mm in order to absorb the shock loading of concrete floor.

• Precast flooring units should be laid on a mortar bed across the whole wall width and should not be dragged over supports.
