Structural Requirements and Load Bearing
Our manufacturing processes ensure that each lintel delivers the load capacity and installation performance required by residential and multi-residential projects. We provide guidance to ensure each builder achieves compliance and a safe, long-lasting structure.
The following factors form the foundation of our lintel design and supply:
• Load-Bearing Capacity: Each lintel is manufactured to withstand expected loads, maintaining reliable support for the life of the building.
• Minimum Sizing: Our range is developed to meet or exceed the minimum requirements for all project types, offering confidence in long-term performance.
• Installation Requirements: We support builders with clearly defined fitment, alignment, and connection standards to maintain compliance and project integrity.
Installation Best Practices Aligned with Australian Standards for Lintels
Our installation guidelines reflect the best practices outlined in the Australian standards for lintels, ensuring every steel component achieves optimal performance throughout its service life. We collaborate with builders to avoid common errors and recommend only proven techniques that uphold safety and compliance.
Below are key practices we promote:
• Pre-Installation Assessment: We recommend confirming every opening and span to match each project’s lintel profile and dimension requirements.
• Support During Installation: Temporary bracing ensures correct lintel positioning until surrounding works are complete.
• Anchor Placement: Secure connections are critical; we advise precise fixing for long-term structural support.
• Corrosion Protection: Our lintels can be supplied with protective finishes or galvanising to extend service life and reduce maintenance.
• Avoid Overloading: We highlight the importance of observing defined load limits to protect building integrity.
• Inspection and Documentation: Quality checks are integrated into every stage, so compliance and performance can be verified on-site.
