Troubleshooting

Lintel is not level after installation.

Check the initial positioning and use shims to level it before the mortar sets. Re-check using a level.

Cracking appears in the plaster above the lintel.

Ensure the lintel is properly supported and that the mortar has fully cured before applying plaster. Check for any movement or overloading.

Difficulty in plastering due to the plaster key.

Ensure the plaster key is clean and free of debris. Use the correct plastering techniques to ensure a seamless finish.

The lintel is not supporting the load adequately.

Verify the load requirements and ensure the CN102 is suitable for the load. If the load is too heavy, consider a more heavy-duty lintel.
