Product Information

Full details

The UKLintels Standard Cavity Wall Lintel is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts seeking reliable structural support for domestic masonry and timber floor constructions. Its primary benefit lies in its lightweight engineering and built-in plaster key, which simplifies both handling and finishing processes for standard 100-115mm inner and 100mm outer leaf wall configurations. A critical caveat to keep in mind is that this lintel is strictly intended for standard loads; it is not engineered to support precast concrete floors, heavy point loads, or attic trusses.

FAQs

Can I use this for attic trusses?

No, this lintel is not rated for the loads imposed by attic trusses.

Is this suitable for precast concrete floors?

No, it is specifically excluded from use with precast concrete floor systems.

What is the primary material?

The product is manufactured from durable, high-strength structural steel.

Does it require special tools to install?

No, standard masonry tools are sufficient for the installation process.

Can it be used for heavy point loads?

No, it is designed for distributed loads typical of domestic wall constructions, not concentrated point loads.

Troubleshooting

Lintel does not appear level during installation

Adjust the depth of the mortar bed on the inner and outer leaf until the lintel sits perfectly flush.

Plaster is failing to adhere to the lintel face

Ensure the built-in plaster key is free of dust or mortar debris before applying the finish.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your wall construction aligns with the 100-115mm inner leaf and 100mm outer leaf dimensions. Installation must follow standard masonry practices, ensuring the lintel is leveled and bedded correctly in accordance with local building regulations. While the material is durable, inspect it upon arrival for any transit-related damage. Keep the lintel in a dry, covered area prior to installation to prevent unnecessary surface corrosion before it is embedded in mortar. Regular maintenance is not required once the lintel is built into the wall structure, as the surrounding masonry protects the steel from environmental elements.
