List of featured suppliers of LINTELS Steel on Building Products Index
Lintels made of steel are horizontal structural elements that are commonly used to support the weight of a wall above an opening such as a door or window. Often placed within masonry or concrete walls, these steel beams distribute the load over a larger area and prevent the wall from collapsing. Compared to traditional materials like wood or concrete, steel lintels offer several advantages, including high strength-to-weight ratio, durability and resistance to fire, rot, and pests. Steel lintels can be custom designed to fit specific requirements and are available in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different architectural styles and loads.
