Lintels – Fairfaced Range

All Damp Proof Course details, Cavity Tray details and wall vents should be in accordance with the current building regulations and architects detailing.

For all spans greater than 1200mm the units should be propped and supported temporarily at 1200mm centres with the resulting 3 courses of masonry having time to cure before the recommencement of the building work where concrete floors are to be placed onto units, the units should be supported temporarily until the floors have been completed to reduce the risk of shock loading or uneven loading of the lintels.

All lintels should be lifted with threaded lifting loops to ensure that the units are supported and installed to ensure correct handling of the units at all times. Lifting Loops can be ordered through us should you require them.

Fairfaced Range

A range of lintels where the fire rating, loadings and quality of the fair faced finish compare favourably with all other products currently in the market. The full range is verified by a professional fire testing organisation who can supply supporting documentation where required. Again, we can manufacture any reasonable length and section size you require. All these lintels come with a standard 60min fire rating. We can also offer higher fire ratings such as 90min or 120min, to suit your needs.

The Fairfaced Fire Range is the most popular of the King Stone ranges. The lintels are cast using a Class 1 Limestone aggregate which gives the item maximum strength and help towards its fire rating. Because of this they are a direct comparison to other manufacturers’ lintels that are promoted as high strength.

The range is suitable for all normal wall thicknesses, as the load tables on the next page display and can be manufactured to customer specifications. All the lintels are hand finished to remove any surface air holes, giving it a completely smooth finish and completing the fair facing process.

All Fair Faced lintels come with a standard 60 minutes fire rating. However we have developed further one part mixes to achieve 90 and even 120 minute fire ratings. The lintels can be cast in any colour that is required, however only white and grey can achieve the 120 minute fire rating. All lintels comply with the necessary British and Eurocode Standards.

Our Load Tables are working loads and therefore have a degree of safety. All figures are in KN/m. – The tables are generated on the Mr of the section properties.
