Concrete Lintel – Structural – Residential & Commercial Support

Product Overview

This professional 100mm wide x 140mm high prestressed concrete lintel, available in a 2700mm length, is expertly crafted for supporting structural wide spans. It is made from high-strength concrete and reinforced with prestressed steel wires, providing robust support for brickwork above doors and windows.

The textured finish enhances mortar adhesion, ensuring a secure bond with surrounding masonry. The prestressing technology increases load-bearing capacity while maintaining compact section dimensions, making it suitable for light to medium-duty applications. Consistent manufacturing standards ensure durability against weathering and corrosion, offering a long service life with minimal maintenance.
