A cavity lintel is a structural component used in construction that is typically made of concrete or steel. It is used to support the load of the wall above an opening, such as a window or door, in a masonry wall. The cavity lintel is designed with a hollow centre to allow for the insertion of insulation material, which helps to reduce heat loss and increase energy efficiency. The cavity lintel is typically installed during the construction of the wall, with the lintel spanning the opening and resting on the adjacent walls or supports. The cavity lintel is then secured in place with mortar or other adhesive material.

Wall ties are metal components that are used to connect the two leaves (layers) of a cavity wall together. They are typically made of galvanized steel or stainless steel and are designed to prevent the two leaves of the wall from separating under loads such as wind or earthquakes. Wall ties are typically installed during the construction of a cavity wall, with the ties spanning the cavity and connecting the inner and outer leaves of the wall. The ties are spaced at regular intervals, typically every 600mm horizontally and every 450mm vertically, to provide sufficient structural support.

A cavity closer is a type of building component that is used to fill the gap between the inner and outer leaves of a cavity wall at openings such as doors and windows. It is designed to prevent the ingress of moisture, draughts, and pests, and to provide a thermal break between the two leaves of the wall to improve the energy efficiency of the building. Cavity closers are typically made of rigid foam insulation, which is encased in a uPVC or aluminium frame. The frame is designed to fit snugly between the inner and outer leaves of the wall, with the foam insulation filling the gap between the two leaves. This creates a continuous thermal barrier around the opening, which helps to reduce heat loss and improve the energy efficiency of the building.

A damp proof course (DPC) is a barrier that is installed in a building’s walls or floors to prevent moisture from rising through the structure. It is typically made of a waterproof material such as bituminous felt, plastic sheeting, or chemical compounds. Damp can cause significant damage to a building, including rotting of timber, deterioration of plaster, and the growth of mould and bacteria, which can be harmful to human health. A DPC is installed to prevent moisture from rising from the ground and entering the building through the walls or floors. Damp proof courses are typically installed at the base of a wall, above the level of the ground, or at a height of at least 150mm above external ground level. They can also be installed horizontally within walls, known as a horizontal DPC, or vertically between two leaves of a cavity wall, known as a cavity tray.

 

Concrete Padstones

At OneSite we’re here to support builders by providing a wide range of padstones from stock and all available for next day delivery!

Building codes and regulations often specify the use of padstones in certain construction applications, and provide guidelines for their design and installation. It is important to adhere to these codes to ensure the safety and longevity of the structure.

Concrete padstones are load-bearing blocks made of precast reinforced concrete that are used to provide support under the load-bearing ends of beams or lintels in building construction. They are typically rectangular in shape and are designed to distribute the weight of the beam or lintel evenly over the wall or foundation.

Padstones are used to prevent crushing of the masonry below the beam or lintel, and to provide a solid foundation for the load-bearing structure. They are commonly used in both commercial and residential construction, and are suitable for a wide range of applications, including supporting timber beams, steel beams, or concrete lintels.

Concrete padstones are available in a range of sizes and configurations, to suit different building requirements. They can be used in combination with other building materials, such as steel, timber or masonry, and are designed to be installed with minimal fuss or disruption to the surrounding structure.

Proper installation of concrete padstones is essential to ensure their effectiveness and longevity. They should be installed on a clean, level surface and should be bedded in mortar to provide a solid and stable base. The padstone should be carefully positioned to ensure that it is in the correct location to provide support to the beam or lintel.

Concrete padstones are a cost-effective and reliable solution for providing support to load-bearing structures in building construction. They are long-lasting, durable, and require minimal maintenance, making them a popular choice for builders and contractors.

160mm Drainage

Here at OneSite we stock a full range of 160mm fittings, pipe, manholes and adaptors.

Did you know that 160mm pipe can be used at shallower gradient than 110mm pipe?

This makes it ideal for long runs as well as application where several houses are feeding into a main run.

The main benefits of using 160mm drainage over 110mm drainage in building construction include:

  • Increased capacity: 160mm drainage pipes have a larger diameter than 110mm pipes, which means they can carry a greater volume of waste water and sewage. This can be particularly beneficial in larger buildings or buildings with multiple plumbing fixtures, as it can help prevent blockages and reduce the risk of overflowing.

 

  • Reduced risk of blockages: The larger diameter of 160mm pipes also means that they are less likely to become blocked by waste or debris. This can help prevent the need for expensive and time-consuming repairs or maintenance, and can reduce the risk of unpleasant odours or sewage backups.

 

  • Improved water flow: The larger diameter of 160mm pipes allows for a smoother flow of water and sewage, which can improve overall system efficiency and reduce the risk of water hammer or other plumbing issues.

 

  • Longer lifespan: 160mm pipes are typically made of more durable materials than 110mm pipes, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This means that they are more resistant to corrosion and damage, and may have a longer lifespan than smaller diameter pipes.

 

  • Greater design flexibility: The use of 160mm pipes can allow for greater design flexibility in building construction, as larger diameter pipes can be used to create more complex plumbing systems or to accommodate unique architectural features.

 

However, it’s important to note that the decision to use 160mm or 110mm drainage pipes should be based on the specific needs of the building and its plumbing system. A qualified plumbing professional should be consulted to determine the appropriate pipe size and configuration for the building.

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.
