Online Lintel Selector Tool

Whether you're building a small extension or a few houses, we have a unique online tool that will assist you in choosing just the right product for the job.

Catnic's Lintel Selector is a user friendly feature that enables you to select a lintel fit for purpose. All you need is the basic information:

  • Wall construction: is it cavity wall, timber frame, external solid wall, internal solid wall?
  • How thick the masonry is going to be: will you be using block, brick or stone?
  • Lintel loading conditions: floor or roof loads need to be accounted for in addition to masonry loads, to determine whether your requirement is a light, standard, heavy or extreme load?
