10cm X 110cm Gi Lintel

It is made from galvanized iron (GI), providing corrosion resistance and structural strength for long-lasting support.

The GI lintel is used as a horizontal support above doorways, windows, or other openings to bear the load of the structure above and prevent cracks.

Yes, the galvanized iron coating protects it from rust and weathering, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

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

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

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

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.

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.

GI Lintels come in a range of widths and lengths to suit different masonry openings, and they can be cut to size on-site to fit exact dimensions while maintaining proper bearing on both ends.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
