Applications which require a brick-faced prefabricated lintel.

ACS Azure II™ Lintels are brick-faced, prefabricated lintels that are manufactured offsite and supplied to projects with brick slips mechanically fixed to the stainless steel lintel, ensuring the system attains an A1 fire rating. The stainless steel carrier units are designed, welded and fabricated in-line with BS EN 1090 and a certified Factory Production Control system and can therefore be UKCA / CE+UKNI marked under the guidance of the Construction Products Regulations.

Both the lintel and the brick slips have been independently tested by Notified and Technical Approval Bodies to evaluate and validate the physical performance and long term durability of all components. This resulted in the product attaining a BBA Agrément Certificate.

The lintels have been designed in-line with the requirements of BS EN 845-2 & PD 6697 and tested in-line with BS EN 846-9. In terms of the brick slips, these were tested using the guidance of EAD 090062-00-0404 to evaluate the accelerated freeze/thaw weather resistance both saturated and dried of the slips mechanically fixed to the stainless steel carrier. The connection strength and impact resistance of the brick slips were tested before and after the accelerated cyclic weather tests to validate the integrity and durability of the system. The results of these tests allowed the BBA to state that the product will have a service life of at least 60 years.
