The UKLintels Cavity Wall Lintel is designed for professional builders and contractors looking for reliable structural support in residential masonry construction. It provides essential stability for both inner and outer leaf configurations, making it a dependable choice for standard floor and roof loads. Please note that this product is not intended for use with heavy point loads, attic trusses, or precast concrete floor systems, requiring alternative heavy-duty (HD) options for those specific applications.

No, this specific model is not designed for precast concrete floors; it is intended for standard timber floor and masonry loads.
It is designed for residential cavity wall construction with a 100-115mm inner leaf and 100mm outer leaf.
This product is not suitable for attic trusses. You should consult a structural engineer for HD lintel alternatives for attic applications.
Standard practice typically requires a minimum of 150mm end bearing, but always refer to your specific building plans.
You should opt for HD (Heavy Duty) lintel types designed for heavier roof configurations.
Immediately stop work and have a structural engineer inspect if the load exceeds the lintel's design rating or if it is being used with unauthorized heavy point loads.
If using precast concrete floors, remove the lintel and replace it with a designated heavy-duty or concrete-compatible structural support.
Ensure that the lintel is installed with the correct end bearing as specified by structural engineering drawings, typically a minimum of 150mm at each end. The cavity should be kept clear of mortar droppings during construction to prevent moisture bridging. Regularly inspect masonry joints around the lintel during the curing process to ensure no unexpected cracking occurs. When handling, use appropriate lifting gear for the 2550mm length to avoid injury or bending the steel profile. If you find your project requires load capacities exceeding standard uniform distribution, consult a structural engineer to specify an HD (Heavy Duty) lintel type instead.
