Lintels
Opc Grey Precast Concrete C50 Mix
Padstones, Lintels, and Beams are important structural components used in construction projects to provide support and distribute loads across various parts of a building. They are vital for ensuring the stability, safety, and longevity of a structure.
Lintels are horizontal beams used to support the weight of masonry above an opening, such as a door or window. They are typically made of concrete, steel, or timber and are designed to distribute the weight of the masonry evenly across the opening. This prevents the masonry from sagging or collapsing and ensures the stability and safety of the structure.
Lintels come in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different architectural designs and construction requirements. Some common types of lintels include box lintels, cavity lintels, and channel lintels.
The choice of lintel depends on factors such as the span of the opening, the weight of the masonry, and the type of building materials used.
