LINTELLIGENCE

Forty years of successfully meeting the lintel needs

of specifiers and contractors has taught us to take

nothing for granted.

We have developed our comprehensive range of

standard lintels to ensure we cover all conventional

and timber frame constructions. The range is

continually evolving to take account of changing

building requirements such as higher standards of

insulation.

Investment in manufacturing enables us to meet a

growing need for lintels of non-standard design -

we established our special lintels department

specifically to satisfy those needs.

If our standard range does not provide the lintels

you require, we will design and manufacture lintels

to meet your specification.

Specifying lintels is not always straightforward, so

we provide a range of technical advice and support

services to make sure our lintels are always used

in the most effective and efficient manner. This

includes free lintel scheduling to help ease your

busy workload.

Product quality and consistency have always been

of prime importance - that is why we have always

ensured that our lintels meet all current standards

of performance and durability. To help make sure

that our lintels are as good tomorrow as they are

today, we have just updated our lintel factory with

the latest machinery.

Finally, we have also learnt that all the above is

only of value if our lintels are available when and

where you want them. So our network of specialist

distributors has been established to give you ready

availability throughout the UK.

The tables on these pages provide the specifier with a quick

guide to IG’s range of steel lintels.

Lintels are identified by type, loading characteristics and cavity

widths with reference to the appropriate page for full details.

Before consulting tabular information, specifiers are advised

to read the Technical Information pages 33-35 to verify

that properties and installation of IG steel lintels meet the

requirements of intended usage.

Cavity Wall LintelsThe L1 Profile

7

L1 type lintels have a ‘top hat’ profile which offers distinctadvantages in terms of durability and structural characteristicsincluding:

The maintenance of the integrity of the wall structure and itsthermal properties through uniform and continuous bricklaying -the upstand of the lintel sits within the cavity;

Excellent thermal efficiency as a direct result of its design which,with the addition of an expanded polystyrene infill (standard onallL1 lintels), provides a ‘U’ value through the lintel ofsignificantly less than 0.33 W/m2 K;

Reduced maintenance costs through the elimination of crackedplaster due to the differential expansion of dissimilar materialsassociated with Box section lintels.

Semi-pierced slots on the inner flange give an excellent key for theplaster finish.

L1/E lintels are designed to provide support over

openings at eaves level.

To achieve the loading figures indicated on the

opposite page, the lintel must be built in with the

blockwork as shown, and a continuous wall plate

must be provided over the opening and reveals.

The loading figures are achieved by using composite

action of the inner leaf blockwork.

Providing the maximum cavity width for the

appropriate lintel is maintained the outer flange

will have a brickwork bearing of 13mm.

The lintels must be ‘built in’ with the blockwork

positioned against the upstand of the lintel

together with a continuous wall plate as shown.

Designed for use in timber frame construction, theL7 lintel provides support to the outer leaf tobrickwork over openings.

To achieve the loading figures shown, the L7 lintelmust be secured with restraining clips and a block/batten (not supplied) must be used to preventlateral deflection (twist) during the building stage.A single block/batten 300mm long at mid span willbe sufficient. Restraining clips should be fixed with3.3 x 50mm galvanised nails at no more than 500mmcentres each side of mid span.

Clips should be positioned with their vertical centresat the top of the lintel to allow for lintel movementand shrinkage of timber frame.

The loading tables in this brochure are the result of testing

at the group’s premises under the supervision and direction

of the British Board of Agrèment.

All tests were carried out in accordance with

BS 5977 Part 2 1983 and BS EN 846–9:2000 and relate to

the strength and torsional stiffness of lintels to sustain total

uniformly distributed loads.

The loading tables shown for the L1 (where noted), L1/E, L5

and L11 lintels are the results of testing in accordance with

BS 5977 Part 2 1983 and BS EN 846–9:2000, taking into

account composite assistance from the surrounding

masonry, this masonry should be of good quality (in

accordance with BS 5628).

A lintel should not exceed a maximum vertical or horizontal

deflection of 1/325 x the effective span, when subject to the

safe working load.

Note:

Load ratio 1 - applies to loads with an inner to outer leaf ratio

of between 1 :1 and 3 :1. This ratio is normally applicable to

lintels that support:

a. masonry

b. masonry and timber floors

Load ratio 2 - applies to loads with an inner to outer leaf ratio

of between 4 :1 and 19:1. This ratio is normally applicable

to lintels supporting:

a. constructions with concrete floors

b. eaves applications

The L1 profile has been subjected to two fire tests by:

a. The fire research station, Boreham Wood.

b. The Warrington Fire Research Station.

In both cases one hour fire rating was achieved with the

load successfully supported 48 hours later. Further details

available on request.

The service life of lintels will be equal to the life expectancy

of the building when installed with a flexible DPC and within

the humidity and

condensation conditions normally experienced in habitable

buildings.

Lintels conform to the requirements of BS EN 845–2:2003

for corrosion protection, workmanship and materials.

IG lintels are rated by the Housing Association Property Mutual

as satisfying the ‘35 years to first maintenance’ durability

rating, laid down in the ‘HAPM Component Life Manual’.

Galvanised lintels - lintels are fabricated from galvanised

steel to BS EN 10142 1991 Specification for continually hot

dip zinc coated low carbon steel sheet and strip for cold

forming: Technical advisory conditions, grade Fe P01 G,

with a coating type Z600 giving a minimum coating weight

(triple spot test) of 600g/m2; including both sides but with

a minimum yield stress of 250 N/mm2.

Stainless steel - All IG lintels can be manufactured with

stainless steel.

Stainless steel lintels and expanded metal lathing are

formed from Austenitic Chromium Nickel Steel to

BS EN 10088-2 1.4301 (304S15) and require no additional

corrosion treatment. Higher grades of stainless steel can be

supplied on request - BS EN 10088-2 1.4401 (316S31).

For the lintels to perform to the quoted loading figures and to

meet the durability expectations included in this brochure,

the following information MUST be adhered to:

1. Lintels damaged in transit should not be used.

2. Check the correct lintel is being installed.

3. All bearing areas should be prepared using full

bricks/blocks or padstones.

4. Lintels should be installed with a minimum 150mm end

bearing at both ends, be fully bedded on bricklaying

mortar and levelled both longitudinally and horizontally.

When limited end bearings are unavoidable, check with

IG technical office for suitability.

5. Open back lintels should be filled with masonry in

accordance with BS 5977 and a full block built in

through the end bearing and allowed to cure before

continuing building.

6. The inner and outer leaves supported by the lintel should

be raised together to avoid excessive eccentricity of

loading. Masonry above lintels should be allowed to cure

before applying floor or roof loads. If this is not achievable,

temporary support in the form of props should be used.

NHBC guidelines propose no greater than a 1m span for

props during construction.

7. When installing concrete floor units or other heavy

components, care should be taken to avoid shock

loading. Temporary support in the form of props is

advisable if there is a limited amount of masonry to the

outer leaf. Pre-cast floor units should be laid on a mortar

bed to avoid load concentrations at high points in the

masonry. Floor units should not be dragged into position.

8. Point loads should not be applied directly to lintel

flanges. Lintels should have a minimum of 150mm

masonry between the flange and the application level of

any form of loading.

9. In accordance with BS 5628 and NHBC requirements,

all external wall lintels MUST be installed with a flexible

damp proof course with the exception of those

adequately protected by an eaves overhang or similar

form of protection. Stop ends should be provided as

specified by BS 5628 Part 3 1985 and the NHBC to

avoid moisture entering the cavity near the reveals.

Proprietary stop ends should be used or alternatively

the DPC should extend to the edge of the front toe and

50 - 150mm beyond the end of the lintel (depending on

coursing) to allow formation of an integral stop end at a

suitable perp joint. Weepholes should be used in the

external masonry leaf to drain moisture away from the

cavity. A minimum of 2 weepholes should be provided for

each lintel, generally at 450mm centres. Weepholes can be

formed with proprietary weep vents or by leaving perp

joints open.

10. Masonry should not overhang any flange by more

than 25mm.

11. The lintel toe must project beyond the window/door

frame and it is recommended that a flexible sealing

compound is used between the underside of the lintel

flange and the frame to avoid moisture penetration.

12. When the underside of a lintel is exposed, its appearance

can be enhanced by the addition of lintel soffit cladding,

supplied in white and brown, or by the application of a

good quality etch primer and paint after installation.

To help ensure optimum performance and economy from

lintel specifications, IG provide a free expert advisory service.

The service includes:

1. Preparation of lintel schedules from drawings supplied.

These drawings should include the following information

if future revisions to the specifications are be avoided:

a. Plans including dimensions (1:50 scale preferable)

b. Elevations (1:50 or 1:100 scale)

c. Sections (1:50 scale preferable)

d. Floor joist layouts or PC concrete floor layouts and

loadings (1:50 scale preferable)

e. Roof layout, showing positions of girder trusses

etc. (1:50 scale preferable)

f. Any other relevant information, such as steelwork

layouts etc.

2. Provision of lintel location drawings.

3. Provision of structural calculations for Building Regulation

approval. We reserve the right to supply these only in

reply to a written request from a Building Control Authority

or upon the receipt of an order/letter of intent.

4. Advice on the use of lintels in uncommon situations

such as reduced end bearings, point loads and the like.

5. Design and detailing of special lintels, see special lintel

page 29.

Total UDL - This is the safe uniformly distributed load and

indicates the total design load spread evenly along the

length of the lintel including an approximate safety factor.

Ixx - Represents the moment of inertia or the second

moment of area and is a characteristic of the lintel shape. It

TECHNICAL ADVISORY SERVICE

indicates the degree of stiffness the lintel will exhibit under

a given load and span. The greater the value of Ixx, the less

the lintel will deflect.

Zxx - This is the section modulas and is used when

calculating the effects of uneven loading. It indicates the

maximum bending stresses that the lintel section can be

subjected to without exceeding the design stress.

Web buckling - This applies to box lintels and indicates the

maximum end reaction that the lintel can sustain before the

webs fail by buckling.

Cavity TraysA UNIQUE SINGLE ELEMENT CAVITY TRAY SYSTEM GABLE ABUTMENT SYSTEM

When a stepped or staggered gable abutment is formed the

status of the external skin below the roof line changes to that

of an internal skin. Accordingly, every gable abutment must be

constructed so as to prevent dampness and rainwater from

penetrating below the abutting roof line.

The IG Gable Abutment Cavity Tray forms a stepped cavity

dpc which is incorporated into the building during bricklaying.

The completed structure is ready to receive roof lead flashing

in the conventional way.

THE IG CAVITY TRAY - TYPE GA

Manufactured from polypropylene, the IG Gable Abutment

Cavity Tray is available in three sizes to suit all roof pitches up

to 60°. It is suitable for use in all brick, block and timber-

framed constructions, the large bridging piece catering for

cavity widths from 50mm to 100mm.

Supplied flat, the pre-creased trays allow for easy on-site

folding to the required shape - catchment, left and right hand

or ridge tray. A locating lip facilitates the accurate placement

of trays during bricklaying.

CALCULATING QUANTITIES

The single-element system makes the calculation of quantities

very simple. Whether you are building with bricks or blocks

the rule is the same: you require one cavity tray per course

per slope. On a double slope roof this calculation will give you

an extra tray that can be used to lengthen the ridge tray if

required.

SIZES AND ROOF PITCHES

The IG Gable Abutment Cavity Tray is available in three sizes

as detailed below. Trays are supplied in shrink-wrapped flat

packs in the quantities indicated or as single items.

Note: All packs contain full installation instructions and folding instructionsare printed on each tray

INTERNAL/EXTERNAL CORNERS

Flat-packed foldable corners complete the IG Gable Abutment

Cavity Tray System. Both internal (GAIC) and external (GAEC)

corner trays comprise factory-jointed two-piece assemblies

that are folded on site to form right-angled corners. The

trays are pre-creased and incorporate adjustment for 50mm,

75mm or 100mm cavity widths and incorporate mastic sealant

strips for overlapping areas.

REFURBISHMENT SYSTEM

The IG Refurbishment Cavity Trays System has been

specifically developed to facilitate both the insertion of a new

tray into an existing wall and the repair or alteration of an

existing damp proof course.

WHERE TO USE

Where a new lean-to extension meets an existing building,

the original external wall becomes an internal partition

below the roof line and must be protected from dampness

and the penetration or rainwater. Similarly, when a flat roof

is resurfaced with added insulation, or is reconstructed as an

inverted roof with top paving, the roof level may be raised

and thus require the skirting and its corresponding damp

proof course to be lifted.

In addition, existing cavity trays which have been poorly

constructed or have rotted allowing water to leak through must

be replaced.

THE IG CAVITY TRAY - TYPE RFT

Available off-the-shelf in flat-packs, the IG Refurbishment

Tray combines ease of handling, transportation and use

with complete effectiveness. It meets all current Building

Regulations and NHBC requirements. Manufactured from

polypropylene, the IG Refurbishment Tray is 620mm wide

by 280mm deep and is suitable for use in all brick, block and

timber-framed constructions. The large bridging piece caters

for cavity widths from 50mm to 100mm.

Supplied flat, the pre-creased trays allow for easy on-site

folding to the required shape including forming left and right

hand end stops. A locating lip facilitates accurate placement

during installation and the mastic sealant strip (protected by

release paper) ensures easy and watertight overlap jointing.
