So, Let's start from the beginning - What is a Lintel?
The Lintel, is commonly Used above Doors Windows and any load-bearing opening used in Buildings.
The Lintel spans the Opening and distributes loads above the walls or masonry on either side of the Opening.
The Use of Lintels in Construction is an ancient process.
The Post and Lintel System built many ancient historic sites around the world.
Stone and Timber Lintels would have been Commonly Used back then and was also used as Decorative Pieces.
Stone Lintels and Timber Lintels are still used to this Day, with Craftsman providing the Decoration when required.
Back in the Swinging Sixties, we saw the Steel Lintel join the Party, and Production went to another level with New Innovative Organisations such as Stressline producing Steel Lintels.
Today we have Lintels of all types that are Widely Used throughout Construction in the UK.
