Steel Lintels
Steel
Steel Lintels are structural support elements used above openings such as doors and windows to carry masonry loads safely. They are manufactured in accordance with BS 5977: Part 2: 1983, and designed using the LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) method as per the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), 1st Edition 1993 (2nd printing).
Steel Lintels offer a modern, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to conventional lintel construction, ensuring faster installation and improved performance.
