Concrete lintels

Concrete lintels are a popular choice for structural stability and weight distribution above openings like doors and windows. Although they’re heavier than other options, they’re often cheaper than steel lintels, and provide better thermal insulation and fire resistance. Precast concrete lintels, reinforced with steel rebars, can also be less sensitive to corrosion.

Another difference is that concrete lintels will usually be visible when construction is finished, although they can be decorated with options like brick slips. Concrete lintels are available in various sizes, lengths, and dimensions, and can also be cut on site for different building requirements. If you need extra strength, prestressed concrete lintels are ideal for longer spans and heavier loads.
