  • The SWL (safe working load) is based on the total UDL (uniform distributed load) over maximum span using 150mm end bearings.
  • Standard lengths are available in increments of 3000mm at lengths up to 3000mm.

Features

Steel lintel for use in 130mm standard duty masonry cavity wall construction, designed to support typical masonry, timber floor and roof loads found in most buildings and suitable for fairfaced inner leaf masonry. Open back profile allows masonry to be built up continuously on both outer and inner leaf. Manufactured from galvanised steel, supplied fully insulated, with integral plaster key and Catnic's signature black powder coating
  • Duplex Corrosion Protection
  • Integral Plaster Key
  • Built-In DPC
  • Integral Insulation
  • Made in the UK for a lower carbon footprint and certified to BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing standard.
  • Made using lower carbon manufacturing
  • It is possible to reuse all of our lintels, providing that they are not damaged. Contact our technical team for more information

  • Duplex Corrosion Protection

    A coating of thermal setting polyester powder is then applied by an electrostatic process, further protecting the lintel.

  • Built-in Damp Proof Course (DPC) Profile

    Many Catnic lintels offer a unique profile shape that combine with the unique Duplex Corrosion Protection or stainless steel to create an effective barrier that acts as a built-in DPC, meaning any water penetrating into the cavity automatically transfers across the sloping face of the lintel and is disposed of externally.

  • Continuous Insulation

    Many Catnic lintels are supplied with CFC and HCFC free insulation maximising their thermal efficiency and compliance with Part L.

  • Integral Plaster Key

    Many Catnic lintels come complete with an integral plaster key that avoid the hazards of working with a mesh key.

Video Guides

When selecting a lintel, there are three factors that should be considered to ensure the correct specification: the type of wall construction, the dimensions of the structural opening and the total load on the lintel. In this video, we run you through the lintel selection process.

Once you have chosen the correct lintel for your project, it is crucial that the lintel be installed properly – if it is not, it could lead to serious issues for the building. In this video, we explain the installation considerations for cavity wall lintels.

Catnic’s Thermally Broken Lintel is the only lintel on the market to provide a complete thermal break between the inner and outer leafs. In this video, we outline the key benefits of Thermally Broken Lintels and explain the installation process.

Steel lintels, and specifically Catnic's thermally broken lintels, have a significant role to play in reducing thermal bridging and achieving carbon gains. They represent one of the simplest and most economical ways for building fabric to be designed and constructed to help achieve the carbon gains necessary to meet current and future building regulations.
