List of featured suppliers of LINTELS Prestressed Concrete on Building Products Index
A lintel is a structural beam that sits horizontally across an opening, such as a door or window, to support the weight of the structure above. When the lintel is made out of prestressed concrete, it has been fabricated to withstand tension and compression. The concrete is reinforced with steel cables and then placed under tension before the concrete is poured. This creates a more durable and stable beam that is less prone to cracking or failure under pressure. Lintels made from prestressed concrete are commonly used in commercial and industrial construction projects.
