Concrete Lintel

 

Concrete lintels are a type of structural component used in building construction to support the weight of masonry or brickwork above an opening such as a window or door. They are typically made of reinforced concrete and are designed to distribute the load of the wall above the opening evenly across the supports on either side.

Concrete lintels are typically installed during the construction of a wall, with the lintel being placed over the opening and supported on either side by the adjacent walls or other load-bearing elements. The lintel is then secured in place with mortar or other adhesive material.

Concrete lintels are a popular choice for building construction due to their strength, durability, and ability to withstand heavy loads. They are also resistant to fire, moisture, and insect damage, making them a reliable choice for long-term use.

Proper installation of concrete lintels is important to ensure that they provide the necessary structural support for the wall above the opening. Failure to install lintels correctly can lead to structural damage, such as cracking or collapsing of the wall, which can be dangerous and expensive to repair.

High Strength Concrete Lintel

 

High strength concrete lintels are made by using higher quality materials, such as stronger aggregates and cement, and by increasing the amount of reinforcement in the lintel. This results in a product that is stronger, more durable, and better able to resist cracking or failure under heavy loads.

High Strength Lintel Benefits:

• Increased load-bearing capacity: High strength concrete lintels can support heavier loads than standard concrete lintels, allowing for larger openings or longer spans

 

• Improved durability: High strength concrete lintels are more resistant to damage from weather, moisture, and other environmental factors, which can extend their lifespan and reduce the need for maintenance.

 

• Better fire resistance: High strength concrete lintels are able to withstand higher temperatures for longer periods of time than standard concrete lintels, which can improve the overall fire resistance of the building.

 

• Greater design flexibility: The use of high strength concrete lintels can allow for more complex architectural designs and larger openings, which can enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the building.

Fair Faced Concrete Lintel

 

A fair faced lintel is a type of lintel used in building construction that is designed to be left exposed as a decorative element. The term “fair faced” refers to the finished surface of the lintel, which is intended to be aesthetically pleasing and visually appealing.

Fair faced lintels are typically made of materials such as concrete or steel, which can be shaped and finished to achieve the desired appearance. The surface of the lintel is usually treated to remove any imperfections or blemishes, and may be polished, brushed, or honed to achieve a smooth or textured finish.
