Overview
What Are Ultralintels?
Ultralintels are load-bearing support beams placed above an opening in a wall that is typically formed to accommodate a door or window. Ultralintels are manufactured using prestressed concrete technology and are particularly well-suited for use in brickwork construction. Ultralintels come in two depths in order to be compatible with brick coursing – 80mm & 170mm. They are available in a range of stock lengths.

Why Use Ultralintels?
Strong
Unlike steel lintels, Ultralintels work compositely with the brick-courses over to form a deep beam. This gives them a high load carrying capacity
Durable
Because Ultralintels are pre-stressed they are dimensionally stable and do not crack. Furthermore there is no conventional steel reinforcement. The only steel cast into Ultralintels is high strength 7-wire strand that does nor corrode. They are particularly well-suited in aggressive environments close to the sea
Fire Rated
Ultralintels are the only lintels that have been fire-tested under load. They come with a fire rating certificate from the CSIRO
Render Friendly
The slide-forming process used to manufacture Ultralintels provides a roughened finish on the sides and on the top. This rough finish on the sides is ideally suited to the application of a cement render. The rough finish on the top ensures strong composite action with the mortar and brickwork above
Economic
Concrete lintels replace a requirement for bricks that would be needed if steel lintels were to be used

Construction Notes
The load carrying capacity of the Ultralintels increases significantly when they act compositely with the brickwork above.
