The Birtley CB90 is a high-quality mild steel lintel designed for load-bearing applications in cavity walls with a cavity width of 90-105mm. It features a robust 65-micrometre hot dip galvanised coating (Supergalv), providing increased durability and longevity. This lintel is specifically engineered with 100mm inner and outer leaves, making it a suitable choice for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts aiming to ensure structural integrity in their building projects.
With a height of 141mm and a weight of 10.1 kg/m, this lintel can support a technical load capacity of 22 kN, making it ideal for standard duty applications. The factory-fitted expanded polystyrene insulation significantly improves thermal performance, helping to reduce thermal bridging by up to 55%. It is important to note that the Birtley CB90 must be fully bedded on bricklaying mortar and is not suitable for point loads or concrete floors.
