Expamet Concrete Lintel - (L)1050mm (W)100mm

With proper installation and care, the lintel can last for the lifetime of the building.

A minimum of 100mm bearing on supporting walls is generally recommended; however, always refer to local building regulations and structural calculations for specific requirements.

Cutting concrete lintels is not recommended without expert advice. Consult a professional to determine the feasibility and proper methods.

Use a mortar suitable for the brick or block type and suitable for the structural requirements. Consult a building professional for guidance.

Store the lintel on a flat, level surface, protected from the elements and any potential impacts. Handle with care to prevent chipping.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety glasses, and a hard hat. Use proper lifting techniques, and ensure the work area is clear of obstructions.

Check if the lintel was correctly supported. Ensure proper load distribution and check for any ground movement.

Verify the load on the lintel does not exceed its capacity. Check the supporting walls for any structural issues and that the correct bearing was achieved.
