Pre-stressed concrete lintels are a cost effective and flexible solution to support load bearing walls.  They are usually used for load bearing over window and door openings in brick or blockwork but can also be used as a padstone or bridging across manhole openings.

These lintels are designed with a concrete strength of 50N/mm2 and utilising strands to BS 5896:2012. They offer a minimum of 30minute fire resistance which can be increased by additional protection (e.g. plasterboards).
