Steel lintels from Galintel® by Nepean


If you think choosing lintels is simply a case of deciding what size and type, ask yourself if they perform to an R3 durability rating with a zinc coating of 600 g/sq m. When choosing lintels designers need to look at the full life cycle of a building and design for longevity and maintenance which would guarantee an extension of building life and a reduction in costs over the building life cycle - both critical qualifications for warranty insurance.

"Because lintels are an important load-bearing component in brickwork it is essential to specify a product that if fully hot-dipped galvanised to the highest rating," says John Morris, manager of Galintel.

"When combined with an appropriate inspection and maintenance program, building life can be further extended.

"Galintel steel lintels have been fully field-tested to ensure they comply with an R3 durability rating," he says.

"Lintels with an R2 rating have a zinc coating only half as thick."

"Galintel steel lintels also show excellent results in avoiding corrosion; that's because our lintels are protected with a generous galvanising layer, including the ends of the product where corrosion often begins."

They are backed by a performance guarantee.
