The Birtley LA lintel is a robust steel lintel designed for external wall applications, specifically suitable for single-leaf installations in fair-faced masonry. With a length of 3000mm, this lintel is ideal for spanning large openings up to 2700mm, making it a popular choice for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
Featuring a high load capacity of 13kN (UDL) and a weight of 22.5kg (or 7.3kg/m), the Birtley LA ensures excellent structural integrity. Its unique design eliminates the need for a baseplate while incorporating factory-fitted insulation that reduces thermal bridging, resulting in improved energy efficiency. The hot-dip galvanization process provides a superior Supergalv coating that offers enhanced corrosion protection, ensuring longevity and durability against environmental factors.
