PRO-STEEL LINTELSOur prefabricated lintels offer a quick and simple way of creating deep soffits above window and door openings. The lintels are ideal where speed is important and removes the need for masonry support giving a seamless blend of masonry to the installer.
Like our Bolt-up units the bricks are collected from site giving us the advantage of using the same batch as the main brickwork. Then cut into slip form and bonded to the steel structure. This gives a seamless blend meaning no compromise on quality or appearance. key benefitsA fraction of the price of site-based construction.
Quick & easy installation. 50% lighter than traditional build. Customised to clients requirements. |

Pro-STEEL Lintels
|
The FabSpeed Stretcher Bond Lintel Range is designed to allow an opening to be created in a single leaf of masonry, typically the external leaf of a cavity with an integrated brick slip soffit feature.
The brick slip soffit feature is bonded to the lintel carrier using a specially formulated resin adhesive in a stretcher/running bond to match seamlessly with the facing brickwork and reveals where relevant. |

SHUFFLE BRICK
Our brick faced lintels in Stretcher Bond are typically supplied with a ‘Shuffle Brick’ arrangement to allow the lintel to be coursed into the facing brickwork regardless of the bond pattern at the head of the opening (i.e starts on a half or full brick). Structural openings are most typically set at divisions of full or half brick dimensions, although we can adjust this to suit the bond pattern required. The standard lintel range is supplied in 150mm incremental lengths. Lintels of alternative lengths and load capacities outside of the details provided in the following load tables can be designed and supplied to meet with project specific requirements. Lintels should be selected to ensure that a minimum of 150mm bearing either side of the opening is always achieved. |

testing infoBoth the lintels and the brick slips have been independently tested by Notified and Technical Approval Bodies to evaluate and validate the load capacity, physical performance and long term durability of all components. The lintels have been designed in line with the requirements of BS EN 845-2 & BS 5977-1 and tested in line with BS EN 846-9.
The brick slips are tested using the guidance of ETAG 034 to evaluate the accelerated Freeze/Thaw weather resistance both saturated and dried of the slips bonded to backing structures of various materials including stainless steel and powder coated galvanised steel. The tests include the evaluation of bond strength and durability of the brick slips bonded to stainless steel where a service life of 60 years can be achieved. The bond strength and impact resistance of the brick slips were tested before and after the accelerated cyclic weather tests to validate the integrity and durability of the system. The tests included: Heat / Rain weathering to ETAG034 – Weathered samples only. Bond Strength testing using ETAG004 as guidance- Control and Weathered samples. Impact testing to ISO 7892 - Control and Weathered samples |
