Product Information

Full details

The UKLintels Extra Heavy-Duty Cavity Wall Lintel is designed for professional builders and contractors tasked with managing substantial structural loads, such as precast concrete floors and roof trusses. It provides exceptional load-bearing strength through its robust galvanised steel construction, ensuring long-term structural integrity in demanding masonry applications. While it offers superior durability and ease of installation due to its lightweight profile, users should ensure the specific dimensions perfectly match their cavity requirements before procurement.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary material used in this lintel?

The lintel is manufactured from high-grade galvanised steel for maximum strength and corrosion resistance.

Can this lintel be used with roof trusses?

Yes, it is specifically designed to handle the point loads associated with attic trusses and floor joists.

What wall cavity width does this product support?

This model is engineered for cavity widths between 150mm and 165mm.

Is the plaster key necessary to use?

The integrated plaster key is provided to improve the bond between the steel and the plaster; it is highly recommended for a professional finish.

How do I ensure the lintel is installed level?

Use a spirit level and ensure the lintel is bedded evenly on a mortar base at both ends.

Does the lintel require painting?

The galvanised coating provides sufficient protection, so painting is not strictly necessary for performance.

Troubleshooting

Lintel appears slightly bowed after heavy load application

Verify that the structural load does not exceed the rated specifications for the 150-165mm variant.

Plaster failing to adhere to the lintel face

Ensure the integrated plaster key is clean of dust and mortar debris before applying the finishing coat.

Mismatch with cavity width during installation

Cease installation immediately and verify the site measurement matches the 150-165mm specification.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High load-bearing capacity for structural safety
  • Corrosion-resistant galvanised coating
  • Lightweight design for improved on-site handling
  • Simplified plastering finish via integrated key

Cons

  • Limited to specific 150-165mm cavity wall widths
  • Requires professional structural engineering verification
  • Inflexible if structural requirements deviate from the design specs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with the project's structural drawings. Ensure the lintel is properly leveled and centered over the opening to maintain load distribution. The product is compatible with 100-115mm inner leaves and 100mm outer leaves; confirm your wall dimensions before attempting installation. Care should be taken to avoid damaging the galvanised coating during transport; if the coating is compromised, apply a cold-galvanising spray to prevent rust. Ensure the lintel is fully bedded in mortar to support the masonry above correctly.
