Product Information

Full details

The UKLintels XHD Cavity Wall Lintel is an essential structural component designed for professional builders and contractors seeking reliable support for masonry walls, timber floors, and roof loads in 90-105mm cavity configurations. It provides exceptional load-bearing capacity for heavy-duty applications, such as attic trusses and precast concrete floors, though installers must ensure precise alignment during placement to maintain structural integrity. This 750mm variant offers a compact, high-strength solution engineered specifically to bridge gaps while maintaining the thermal and load requirements of modern cavity wall construction.

FAQs

Is this lintel suitable for a two-story home?

Yes, the XHD (Extra Heavy Duty) range is specifically designed to support the substantial loads common in multi-story residential buildings, including floor and roof loads.

Can I cut this lintel to a shorter length?

Structural steel lintels should not be cut, as doing so compromises their load-bearing capacity and structural certification.

What is the minimum bearing requirement for this lintel?

Typically, a minimum bearing of 150mm at each end is standard, but you should always consult the specific structural drawings for your project.

Does this lintel require additional damp-proof course (DPC)?

Most building regulations require a DPC to be installed with steel lintels; check your local building codes and the lintel installation guide for specific requirements.

Is this lintel compatible with timber frame construction?

This lintel is designed for traditional cavity wall masonry construction; verify your specific wall type before purchase.

Troubleshooting

Lintel appears slightly bowed after installation

Ensure the load is distributed evenly across the span and that the lintel is properly bedded in mortar.

Difficulty fitting into the cavity gap

Verify that your inner and outer leaf masonry is constructed exactly to the 90-105mm cavity specification.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High structural load-bearing capacity
  • Suitable for heavy point loads and concrete floor applications
  • Engineered for precise 90-105mm cavity widths
  • Compact 750mm length ideal for specific span requirements

Cons

  • Fixed cavity width range limits flexibility for non-standard wall designs
  • Requires professional installation for load-bearing safety
  • Weight of the unit may require multiple people for safe positioning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the performance of your UKLintels product. Ensure the masonry surface is level and clean before placing the lintel. The lintel must be bedded in mortar to ensure full contact and prevent point-loading.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with 100-115mm inner leaves and 100mm outer leaves.
  • Handling: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as the steel is heavy and may have sharp edges.
  • Care: Keep the lintel dry until installation to prevent surface oxidation. After installation, ensure the cavity tray or weep holes are correctly positioned to prevent moisture accumulation around the steel core.
