Application

Steel lintels for use in internal and external cavity wall construction to support walls, floors and roofs above window and door openings.
Cavity widths greater than 50 mm.
Lintels should be installed with a minimum end bearing of 150 mm, bedded on mortar and levelled along its length and across its width.
The masonry above the lintel should be built in accordance with BS EN 1996-2.
Raise the inner and outer leaves simultaneously to avoid excessive eccentricity of loading, with a maximum height difference of 225 mm (masonry should be laid on a mortar bed and all perpendicular joints should be filled).
Allow the mortar to cure before applying floor or roof loads (temporary propping beneath a steel lintel is practiced to facilitate speed of construction).
NHBC & LABC recommend a damp proof course (DPC) or cavity tray should be installed over all openings in external cavity walls.
When installing concrete floor units or other heavy components above a lintel, care should be taken to avoid shock loading and floor units should not be dragged into position. Masonry immediately above the lintel should be allowed to cure.
Point loads should not be applied directly onto lintel flanges. Lintels should have a minimum of 150 mm masonry between the flange and the application level of any form of loading. Consult IG’s Technical Department if applying a point load above a lintel.
The external lintel flange must project beyond the window/door frame and it is recommended that a flexible sealing compound is used between the underside of the lintel flange and the frame.
Do not cut lintels to length or modify them in any way without consulting an IG engineer.
Lintel should be centred in the cavity and the distance between lintel up-stand and masonry must not exceed 10 mm.
Masonry should not overhang any flange by more than 25 mm.
The practice of propping a lintel is sometimes used to facilitate speed of construction. It should only be introduced after initial masonry load has been applied to the lintel.
Stop ends are required at each end of a lintel to prevent moisture cascading over the ends into the cavity and onto the inside wall.
At least two weep vents are required per opening and positioned not more than 450 mm apart.

Description

All IG standard lintels satisfy the thermal performance requirements of Approved Document L of the Building Regulations (E & W), Northern Ireland’s Technical Booklet F and Scotland’s Technical Handbook, section 6. The IG patented Thermal Break Plate reduces thermal bridging while adding extra rigidity. IG lintels are insulated with expanded CFC-free profiled polystyrene insulation conforming to BS EN 13163. Provide a damp proof course / cavity tray over all lintels. Designed to facilitate a security shutter system.

For more detailed information applicable to a particular wall construction, contact IG Lintels Technical Department.

Refer to manufacturers literature for details regarding lintel ranges, height, thickness and Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) figures.

Performance:

Fire:

IG lintels have been subjected to a fire test (WARRES No. 101263) in accordance with BS 476-20 and (Report No. 508704/R) in accordance with BS EN 1363-1 at Exova Warrington Fire and achieved a one hour fire performance.

Corrosion:

IG’s standard range of lintels are manufactured from high quality grade pre-galvanized mild steel to BS EN 10346 DX51D with a zinc coating of 600 g/m² (including both sides) conforming to BS EN 845-2.
The use of austenitic stainless steel is ideal when the life expectancy and maintenance programme of a building are key considerations.
Material / coating specification in buildings exceeding three storeys in a non-aggressive environment should be limited to austenitic stainless steel (chrome nickel alloys).
Material / coating specification for buildings in an aggressive environment (e.g. coastal sites) should be limited to austenitic stainless steel (molybdenum chrome nickel alloys).

Structural:

The IG lintel range has safe working loads as detailed in each applicable loading table in the IG Lintels Product Guide brochure.
The structural performance figures within each table have been ascertained by testing in accordance with the requirements of standards BS EN 5977-2, BS EN 846-9 and BS EN 845-2.

Certification:

BBA Agrement certificate 05/4192 including regular assessment of production.
UKCA Assessment of performance, system 3.
CE Assessment of performance, system 3.
EN 1090-2 Execution Class 2, declaration method 1,2,3a & 3b, Certificate 14/F106 & 14/F107.
ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, Certificate 18/Q059.
ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, Certificate 18/E019.
