What are angle bars used for?

Angle bars are typically used as lintels to hold brickwork above door or window openings. They can also be used above garage door openings. They have the structural integrity to hold up particular loads in order to create openings for doorways or windows below.

What sizes do angle bars come in?

Angle bars are available in various profiles depending on the load the bar is taking. Sold in standard lengths in a range of popular sizes. Angle bars are available in 100mm x 100mm and 150mm x 100mm in standard lengths.

How do I know what size bar I need?

Typically the lintel bar length is calculated based on plans where an engineer advises how much overhang is required depending on the opening size. As a general rule of thumb, most builders use the opening size plus 300mm to allow for a 150mm bearing on either side.
