FERREX steel lintels are lightweight, high load-bearing, ribbed steel lintels for brick construction, designed to support brickwork above window and door openings in place of a conventional concrete lintel.
Lintels are made in galvanised or stainless steel. On request they can be coated in black epoxy paint, which gives long-term protection against moisture and chemical attack from mortar and masonry.
ApplicationDoor and window openings in masonry.

Safe working loads are uniformly distributed, in tonnes, for each range of lintel length. Lengths are available in 100mm increments. A dash means the length is not listed for that gauge.
Width dimensions are inside-of-channel dimensions.
