Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this lintel suitable for cavity walls?

No, this specific model is engineered exclusively for solid wall applications between 200mm and 215mm.

Does the lintel need to be painted?

The galvanised finish provides inherent corrosion protection, so painting is not strictly necessary unless for aesthetic reasons.

What is the recommended end bearing for this lintel?

A minimum end bearing of 150mm is recommended on both sides to ensure proper load distribution.

Can this support a concrete floor?

Yes, the 19:1 load ratio makes it suitable for supporting concrete floors, masonry, and floor joists.

What is the primary material used?

The product is manufactured from heavy-duty, galvanised steel.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty achieving a level installation

Use a long spirit level and ensure the underlying masonry bed is perfectly flat before setting the lintel.

Structural movement after installation

Verify that the end bearing supports are fully cured and meet the minimum 150mm overlap requirement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent structural load-bearing capacity
  • High-quality galvanised steel for corrosion resistance
  • Engineered for precise compatibility with 200mm solid wall systems
  • Versatile enough to support various flooring and roof truss loads

Cons

  • Substantial weight requires careful manual handling
  • May require heavy lifting equipment for positioning
  • Specifically sized for 200-215mm walls, limiting use in thinner partition walls

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SL200 requires standard masonry practices, ensuring the lintel has a minimum end bearing of 150mm on each side of the opening. It is crucial to level the lintel during the bedding process to prevent uneven load distribution. For long-term care, ensure that the damp-proof course (DPC) is correctly installed above the lintel to prevent moisture from bridging into the inner leaf of the wall. Since the component is galvanised steel, avoid using abrasive cleaners that could strip the coating; if the surface is scratched during installation, applying a zinc-rich cold galvanising spray can restore the protective barrier.
