The steel thickness is 3.0mm.

What should I do if the lintel gets damaged?

Inspect the damage. Depending on the severity, either repair the damage with suitable methods or replace the lintel. Consult with a professional to make sure it will continue to support the load.

Is the IG L10 Lintel resistant to corrosion?

Yes, it is made of galvanised steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance.

Troubleshooting

The lintel is not level after installation.

Re-check the mortar bed and adjust the lintel accordingly. Ensure it is level across its entire length and width. Use shims if needed, to achieve a level surface.

The lintel appears to be sagging or bending.

Check the load being applied to the lintel. If it exceeds the standard load capacity, consult with a structural engineer. Ensure the end bearings are properly supported.

Rust or corrosion is visible on the lintel.

Clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint. If the corrosion is severe, consider replacing the lintel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Preparation: Ensure the opening is the correct size, accounting for the 150mm end bearing on each side.
Placement: Set the lintel on mortar, ensuring it is level across its length and width.
Alignment: Carefully align the lintel to support the outer leaf of the cavity wall.
