What are Lintels?
A lintel is a horizontal beam, used to give structural strength and support around openings such as doors and windows. Lintels can either consist of metal, concrete or wood – and all are subject to decay. Metal lintels can rust and expand and cause the surrounding brickwork to crack, causing structural damage. Galvanised lintels are used to replace the rusting lintels which ensure the problem does not re-occur.
