Question 1

What is the Galvanized (GI) Lintel 6 X 200cm and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

The Galvanized (GI) Lintel 6 X 200cm is a steel beam with a galvanised coating designed to span above openings in load-bearing walls. It transfers loads from above openings (doors or windows) down into the surrounding wall, helping to prevent cracking and structural failure. The galvanised coating provides corrosion resistance for longer life in masonry environments.

Question 2

What are the main specifications of this GI lintel (6 X 200cm)?

Accepted Answer

Key specs: length of 200 cm (6 x 200 cm), galvanised coating for corrosion resistance, intended for load-bearing wall applications, sturdy construction and relatively easy on-site handling and installation.

Question 3

In what applications should I use this GI lintel?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for load-bearing walls with openings such as doors and windows in residential and commercial buildings. It provides reliable support above openings and is suitable for both new constructions and renovations where a galvanized steel lintel is appropriate.

Question 4

How do I install the GI lintel above an opening?

Accepted Answer

General steps: measure the opening width and confirm bearing requirements on each side, prepare a clean rough opening, position temporary supports to bear the weight, place the lintel on the supports ensuring it is level, bed and support ends with appropriate mortar or sealant, secure alignment, and allow proper curing before applying loads. If in doubt, consult a qualified professional.

Question 5

What tools or materials will I need for installation?

Accepted Answer

Typical items include a tape measure, spirit level, chalk line, plumb line, masonry shims, temporary supports, mortar or sealant for bearing surfaces, protective gloves and eye protection, and basic masonry tools for readying the opening and bedding the lintel.

Question 6

What safety considerations should I keep in mind when installing this lintel?

Accepted Answer

Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection, steel-toed boots). Use proper lifting techniques or mechanical assistance for heavy pieces. Ensure the opening is adequately supported during installation to avoid collapse. Do not modify the lintel length by cutting, as this can compromise structural integrity.

Question 7

How do I determine if 6x200cm is the right size for my opening?

Accepted Answer

Lintel length should overhang the opening bearings on both sides. Typical bearing lengths are selected per project specs, but a common rule is to have 50–150 mm of bearing on each side depending on design. The 200 cm length is suitable for openings up to near 200 cm, with appropriate end bearings. For precise sizing, consult your structural engineer or refer to project design requirements.

Question 8

How should I maintain or inspect a galvanised lintel over time?

Accepted Answer

Regularly inspect for signs of corrosion, paint or coating damage, or pitting. Clean the surface with mild detergent and water if needed, and avoid harsh cleaners. If the galvanised coating is compromised, seek professional assessment to determine if recoating or replacement is required.

Question 9

Is this lintel compliant with building standards and suitable for structural openings?

Accepted Answer

The GI lintel is designed for load-bearing applications and corrosion resistance. Compliance with local building codes depends on the project and region, so verify with a structural engineer or local authority to ensure it meets your specific standards.

Question 10

Can I return this lintel if it doesn’t meet my needs?

Accepted Answer
