Troubleshooting

Lintel is not level after installation.

Re-check the level during installation and adjust the support accordingly. Ensure proper end bearing placement.

Visible damage or corrosion after installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Preparation: Ensure the cavity wall dimensions are within the 90–105mm range. Measure the required lintel length based on the opening width, adding the necessary end bearing length.
Positioning: Place the lintel into position, ensuring it is level and properly supported.
End Bearings: Install with a nominal 150mm end bearing on each side for optimal load distribution and stability.
Leaf Alignment: Ensure both inner and outer leaves are properly aligned for accurate support.
Fixing: Secure the lintel according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring adequate support.
Blockwork: Before installing flooring or roof elements, lay one course of blockwork for enhanced structural performance.

Compatibility

The Catnic CG90/100 is compatible with cavity wall constructions using standard building materials. Ensure that the materials used, like brick or block, align with the lintel's load-bearing capacity and the building's structural requirements.

Care

Protect the lintel from damage during handling and installation.
Regularly inspect the lintel for any signs of corrosion or damage, especially in harsh weather conditions. The galvanised steel is corrosion resistant, but inspection is still recommended.
Ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation that could affect the structural integrity.
