FAQs

What type of wall construction is the Catnic ANG Lintel designed for?

The Catnic ANG Lintel is specifically designed to accommodate the requirements of all thin joint wall constructions, including external cavity, internal partition, and party walls.

Does this lintel reduce heat loss?

Yes, the lintel is designed to help reduce thermal bridging at window head locations, contributing to improved thermal performance and energy efficiency.

Is propping required during installation?

Yes, for standard duty loading applications, the ANG lintels should be suitably propped and laterally restrained during construction until the masonry above has cured.

What does 'Duplex Corrosion Protection' mean?

Duplex Corrosion Protection refers to an advanced coating system that provides enhanced resistance to corrosion, helping to ensure the long-term durability and lifespan of the lintel.

Can this lintel be used with any cavity width?

Yes, the standard product is suitable for all possible cavity widths, offering versatility in construction projects.

What lengths are available for the Catnic ANG Lintel?

Standard lengths are available in increments of 150mm up to 3000mm, and 300mm for lengths between 3000mm and 3900mm. The specific product discussed is 2100mm.

Is this lintel suitable for heavy-duty applications?

This specific lintel is designed for standard duty loading applications. For heavy-duty requirements, it is essential to consult specific load tables or engineering advice to ensure the correct product selection.

Troubleshooting

Lintel appears to sag or deflect during construction.

Ensure that the lintel is adequately propped along its entire length. Verify that the props are correctly positioned, stable, and not overloaded. Also, check that lateral restraint is properly applied to prevent any horizontal movement or twisting.

The lintel does not sit level or plumb.

Before the mortar cures, use a spirit level to check the lintel's alignment. Adjust propping or the mortar bed as necessary. Ensure the supporting masonry is also level and plumb.

Difficulty integrating the lintel with thin joint masonry.

The lintel is specifically designed for thin joint systems. Ensure the correct thin joint mortar is being used and that the lintel is bedded precisely to match the thin joint layers. Avoid forcing the lintel into an incorrect alignment.

Concerns about long-term corrosion after installation.

The lintel features Duplex Corrosion Protection. Ensure this protective coating was not damaged during handling or installation. If minor abrasions occurred, consider applying a compatible protective paint for touch-up, following manufacturer's guidelines (Info needed: specific touch-up product recommendations).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup 1. Placement: Position the lintel accurately above the opening, ensuring it is level and correctly aligned with the thin joint wall course. 2. Propping: For standard duty loading applications, the lintel must be suitably propped during construction. Ensure props are firmly placed and provide adequate support for the entire length of the lintel until the masonry above has cured. 3. Lateral Restraint: Provide appropriate lateral restraint during construction. This prevents any sideways movement or rotation of the lintel as the wall is built up. 4. Mortar Bed: Ensure a full and even mortar bed is used beneath the lintel to distribute loads effectively. ### Compatibility - Wall Type: This lintel is specifically designed for all thin joint wall constructions, including external cavity walls, internal partition walls, and party wall construction. - Cavity Widths: It is suitable for all possible cavity widths, offering versatile application. - Loading: Intended for standard duty loading applications. Ensure the calculated load does not exceed the lintel's design capacity. ### Care & Maintenance - Inspection: Periodically inspect the lintel as part of general building maintenance to ensure there are no signs of damage or excessive deflection. - Corrosion Protection: The Duplex Corrosion Protection provides a robust barrier against rust. Avoid damaging this coating during installation or subsequent work. If the coating is compromised, consider touch-up methods recommended by the manufacturer to maintain protection. - Cleaning: Keep the lintel free from debris or excessive build-up of construction materials to prevent localized moisture trapping which could potentially affect its long-term integrity.
