It is a simple way to change the down force of the building specifically around an opening like a window or door and direction this force to the foundation below. These consist of channel sections or rolled steel joists.

We can use one single section or in combinations depending up on the requirement. Builders and homeowners do not have to worry about corroded lintels and cracked brickwork thanks to the generous galvanising layer – including the ends of the product where corrosion often begins. After a long cold and wet winter, steel lintels are vulnerable to rapid corrosion and structural failure causing damage to the masonry walls that it’s designed to bare the load of and the windows or doorways it is designed to protect.
