Do I need special equipment to install this?

Troubleshooting

Lintel does not sit level across the opening

Verify the supporting masonry is perfectly level and plumb before installation; adjust the mortar bed depth to compensate for minor irregularities.

Visible signs of surface corrosion

Clean the affected area and apply an appropriate anti-corrosive metal primer or paint to protect the steel surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade structural steel ensures long-term durability
  • Engineered for easy integration with standard cavity wall sizes
  • Provides reliable, consistent load distribution for heavy masonry
  • Versatile enough for both residential and commercial applications

Cons

  • Requires mechanical lifting equipment due to the 3600mm length
  • Limited to specific 150-165mm cavity wall widths
  • Heavy weight requires careful site storage and preparation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation begins with verifying the wall cavity width falls within the 150-165mm range. When installing, ensure the lintel has the required minimum end bearings—typically 150mm at each end unless specified otherwise by your structural engineer. Care should be taken to protect the steel finish during installation to prevent premature oxidation. For long-term care, verify that the cavity tray and weep holes are correctly positioned relative to the lintel to manage moisture accumulation effectively. When storing on-site, keep the steel units off the ground on timber sleepers and cover them to protect against excess moisture.
