Product Information

Full details

The UKLintels 100mm Galvanised Steel Lintel is a high-performance structural component designed for professionals and DIYers working on external 100mm single leaf walls. Providing critical support for brick and blockwork, it offers a robust, weather-resistant solution for openings in both new builds and renovation projects. While it provides excellent durability, users must ensure it is the correct specification for their specific load-bearing requirements before installation.

FAQs

Is this lintel suitable for a cavity wall?

No, this is specifically designed for 100mm single leaf solid walls.

Do I need to paint the lintel?

The galvanised finish provides excellent protection on its own, but you can paint it with appropriate metal primer and exterior paint if required for aesthetic reasons.

Can I use this for internal walls?

Yes, it is suitable for both internal and external use, provided the wall thickness is exactly 100mm.

How much bearing does the lintel need?

Always refer to your local building regulations, but standard practice usually requires a minimum of 150mm bearing at each end.

What is the weight capacity of this lintel?

Load-bearing capacity is dependent on the span and the total load; please consult a structural engineer or the load tables provided by UKLintels for your specific span length.

Troubleshooting

Lintel not sitting level

Adjust the mortar bed beneath the bearing points to create a level surface before final installation.

Visible rust on edges after cutting

Immediately clean the cut area and apply a zinc-rich galvanising primer to restore the protective barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High corrosion resistance due to galvanised coating
  • Lightweight construction for easier manual handling
  • Compatible with a wide variety of masonry materials
  • Ideal for both renovation and new build applications

Cons

  • Limited to 100mm wall thickness applications
  • Requires professional structural assessment to confirm load-bearing suitability
  • Must be handled carefully to avoid damaging the galvanised finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the masonry surfaces are clean, level, and free of debris before positioning the lintel.
  2. Installation: Place the lintel ensuring the minimum required bearing length is achieved at both ends according to local building regulations.
  3. Compatibility: Designed specifically for 100mm wall widths; verify your wall thickness before purchase.
  4. Care: While the galvanised finish is weather-resistant, avoid cutting the steel with grinders if possible, as this exposes the core. If cutting is necessary, apply a high-quality zinc-rich cold galvanising spray to any cut edges to prevent future oxidation.
