Lintels are horizontal structures placed across an opening to support the load directly above it. Steel lintels offer a simple and efficient construction solution and provide reliable structural support.
Steel Lintels produced by Ruwais Steel provide excellent strength, resistance, and durability. Steel lintels in the UAE are commonly used in areas where additional support is required for heavy loads.
The ends of the lintels are embedded into the concrete surrounding the structure, allowing them to provide support without taking up additional space. Embedding the lintels within concrete also helps improve fire resistance and increases the overall durability of the structure.
Types of Lintels
Single Wall Lintels
Single Wall Lintels are available as individual units and can be installed directly onto the wall to provide structural support above an opening.
Double Wall Lintels
Double Wall Lintels are created by combining two Single Wall Lintels welded back-to-back. This construction provides greater structural support compared to a Single Wall Lintel.
Cavity Wall Lintels
Cavity Wall Lintels are designed for structures that contain cavities or openings within the wall. These lintels are manufactured to fit appropriately within the cavity while providing the required structural support.
Arch and Curved Lintels
Arch and Curved Lintels are specifically designed to provide additional support for archways and curved structures. They help support the structure while maintaining the required architectural shape and design.
