The UKLintels Standard Single Leaf External Solid Wall C Channel Lintel is designed for builders and DIY enthusiasts working with 100mm external solid leaf masonry or blockwork who require a reliable, load-bearing solution. Its primary benefit lies in its robust, galvanised steel construction which offers exceptional strength-to-weight performance and resistance to environmental corrosion. A key caveat to note is that this is a single leaf lintel, meaning it is specifically engineered for solid wall configurations and is not suitable for cavity wall applications.

No, this is a single leaf lintel designed specifically for 100mm solid walls.
We recommend a minimum end bearing of 150mm on both sides of the structural opening.
The galvanised finish provides good protection, but in severe salt-air conditions, additional protective coatings are recommended.
Painting is not required for structural performance, but it can be painted with appropriate metal primers if aesthetic finish is needed.
It is not recommended to cut the lintel as this may compromise the structural integrity and the protective galvanised seal.
Check that the mortar bed is uniform and that the masonry loads above are distributed evenly along the length of the lintel.
Clean with a soft brush and apply a zinc-rich primer or cold galvanising spray to seal any minor surface abrasions.
Installation should be performed by someone with basic masonry experience. Ensure the lintel is bedded on a full mortar bed and maintain a minimum end bearing of 150mm on both sides of the opening. It is compatible with all standard 100mm construction blocks and masonry bricks. Regarding care, the galvanised coating is durable but should not be cut with abrasive tools that generate intense heat, as this can damage the protective layer. If the finish is accidentally scratched during installation, apply a cold galvanising spray to prevent localized surface oxidation.
