Product Information

Full details

The UKLintels SL200 External Solid Wall T Section Lintel is a high-performance structural component designed for professional builders and contractors working on 200-215mm solid wall masonry projects. Providing exceptional load-bearing capacity for everything from concrete floors to heavy roof trusses, this lintel is an ideal choice for high-demand structural support; however, it requires precise installation planning due to its 2700mm length and specific load-ratio requirements.

FAQs

Is the SL200 suitable for cavity walls?

No, the SL200 is specifically designed for 200-215mm external solid wall applications.

Can I cut this lintel to a different length?

It is not recommended to cut the lintel, as this will alter its structural integrity and weight-bearing specifications.

What is the primary material used?

The lintel is manufactured from high-grade structural steel designed for long-term load support.

How much bearing length is required?

Standard structural practice requires a minimum of 150mm bearing on each side of the opening, but always check your local building control specifications.

Does this lintel require painting?

It comes treated for durability, but applying a protective coating may be necessary if it will be exposed to highly corrosive environments.

Troubleshooting

Lintel not sitting level on masonry

Adjust the supporting masonry courses; do not attempt to force the lintel level with shims as this affects load distribution.

Visible deflection under load

Verify that the load applied does not exceed the manufacturer's specified 1:1 ratio and that the bearing length on either side of the opening meets local building regulations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High structural load capacity
  • Versatile support for multiple building materials
  • Tailored specifically for standard solid wall widths
  • Engineered for industrial-grade durability

Cons

  • Requires mechanical lifting equipment due to length/weight
  • Installation requires precise alignment for 1:1 load ratio efficiency
  • Non-adjustable length once sourced

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the 2700mm SL200 requires a stable scaffolding platform and adequate lifting assistance or mechanical equipment. Before installation, ensure the mortar bed is leveled correctly to prevent stress points on the steel. Compatibility is restricted to 200-215mm wall thicknesses; attempting to use this in narrower or wider wall systems will compromise the load path. Maintenance involves periodic inspection of the external finish; if signs of corrosion appear due to environmental exposure, clean the affected area and apply a suitable anti-corrosive coating to preserve the structural steel.
