Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum span supported by the Catnic ANG Lintel?

The Catnic ANG Lintel supports spans ranging from 900mm to 3900mm, depending on the specific product variant and load requirements.

What type of walls is this lintel designed for?

The ANG Lintel is designed for angled, single-leaf external masonry walls.

What is the standard duty load rating?

The standard duty load rating is up to 15kN, with 150mm end bearings.

How do I determine the correct lintel size for my project?

Calculate the load the lintel needs to support, including the weight of the brickwork and any other imposed loads. Measure the clear span of the opening, and select a lintel with a suitable load capacity and span range. Consult with a structural engineer for complex projects.

Is the Catnic ANG Lintel suitable for cavity walls?

The ANG Lintel is primarily designed for single-leaf external walls. For cavity walls, consider using a specific cavity wall lintel designed for that purpose.

What is the benefit of the powder-coated finish?

The black powder-coated finish on lengths of 2550mm and above provides enhanced weather protection and additional corrosion resistance.

What are end bearings, and why are they important?

End bearings are the lengths of the lintel that rest on the supporting structure. They are crucial for distributing the load and preventing the lintel from failing. A minimum end bearing of 150mm is typically required, but this may vary depending on the load and specific design.

What standards does the Catnic ANG Lintel comply with?

It complies with BS EN 845-2 standards, ensuring it meets specific requirements for quality and performance.

Troubleshooting

Lintel sagging or deflecting after installation

Check the load capacity of the lintel; ensure it is not overloaded. Verify the end bearing is adequate and correctly supported. Inspect the mortar bedding for any signs of failure or insufficient support. Consult a structural engineer if the issue persists.

Corrosion appears on the lintel surface

Inspect the damaged area. If the damage is superficial, clean the area and apply a suitable anti-corrosion coating. If the corrosion is significant, consider replacing the lintel or consulting with a professional.

Difficulty aligning the lintel during installation

Double-check the opening size to ensure it is within the specified tolerances. Use shims or packing materials to level the lintel. Ensure that the supporting structure is plumb and level.

Cracking or damage to the brickwork above the lintel

Inspect the lintel for any signs of movement or failure. Check for inadequate end bearing or overloading. Assess the mortar joints for cracking or deterioration. Consult a structural engineer.

Pros and Cons

  • Wide range of available lengths to suit various project requirements.
  • Suitable for angled walls, expanding design possibilities.
  • Complies with BS EN 845-2 standards, ensuring quality and safety.
  • Duplex corrosion protection for extended lifespan.
  • Reduces thermal bridging in thin joint wall construction.

Cons

  • Requires careful assessment of load-bearing capacity.
  • Installation requires precision to ensure structural integrity.
  • Heavier than some alternative lintel materials, requiring appropriate handling.
  • Specific to single-leaf external masonry walls, limiting its use in other applications.
  • The need for correct end bearing support is critical.
  • The appearance may require additional finishing after installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Before installation, ensure the wall opening is the correct size. Check the lintel dimensions against the opening to confirm a proper fit. Ensure you have the necessary tools and equipment, including a level, measuring tape, and appropriate lifting gear.
  2. Compatibility: This lintel is compatible with 100–102mm outer leaf brickwork and is suitable for use with various mortar types. Ensure the mortar used complies with the required standards. Always ensure the existing wall is structurally sound before installation.
  3. Installation: Position the lintel with the correct end bearing (minimum 150mm) on each support. Use a level to ensure the lintel is horizontal. Properly bed the lintel with mortar, ensuring it is fully supported and level. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines and local building regulations for specific installation details.
  4. Care: After installation, protect the lintel from direct impact during construction. Regularly inspect the lintel for any signs of damage or corrosion. If any issues are found, consult a qualified professional for assessment and repair. Ensure that weep holes (if applicable) are clear of debris.
