10cm X 110cm Gi Lintel

Compared to non-galvanized or alternate materials, GI Lintels offer enhanced corrosion resistance and longer service life due to galvanization.

GI lintels are a common, code-adaptable solution for many masonry openings. Always verify local building codes and project specifications, and use the correct size and bearing as required for your site.

Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection, steel-toe boots), avoid bending or dropping heavy lintels, use proper lifting techniques or equipment, and ensure the lintel is stored flat and undamaged before installation to prevent sharp edges or compromising the coating.

Typical steps: (1) prepare and level the supporting masonry, (2) place temporary supports, (3) position the lintel so it sits evenly on the bearing points, (4) bed the lintel in mortar or a suitable bedding, (5) ensure it is level and centered, (6) complete masonry above and around the ends, and (7) allow proper curing before loading the opening.

Measure the opening width and choose a lintel that spans the opening with adequate end bearing on each side. For load-bearing or larger openings, consult structural guidelines or a qualified engineer to ensure the lintel can support the expected load.

They are used to support masonry or timber above openings such as doors and windows in walls, suitable for a wide range of applications from residential to light industrial projects where a durable load-bearing member is needed.

GI lintels offer superior durability and a longer lifespan in many environments due to corrosion protection from the galvanization, making them a more maintenance-free choice for both exterior and interior openings.

The GI lintel measures 10 cm in width and 110 cm in length, suitable for supporting openings like doors and windows in masonry walls.

The hot-dip galvanized coating on the mild steel provides a protective layer that resists rust and corrosion, making GI lintels well-suited for exterior use and damp environments with reduced maintenance over time.

A GI Lintel is a structural steel beam made from mild steel that has a hot-dip galvanized coating. It sits above openings like windows or doors in walls to transfer the load from the masonry above to the sides of the opening, helping to prevent cracks and sagging.

It is embedded into masonry or concrete above openings, often supported by brick or blockwork on either side, ensuring load transfer and structural integrity.

The thickness varies by manufacturer but generally ranges between 1.2 mm to 2 mm for adequate strength and durability.

Yes, it can be cut or drilled with appropriate metalworking tools to fit specific construction requirements.
