Steel lintels for cavity widths from 50–165 mm.
All IG standard lintels satisfy the thermal performance requirements of Approved Document L of the Building Regulations (E&W), Northern Ireland’s Technical Booklet F and Scotland’s Technical Handbook, section 6. The L1 range has Ψ values ranging from 0.2–0.3 W/m·K, the exact figure depends upon the wall construction the lintel is built into.
The IG patented Thermal Break Plate reduces thermal bridging while adding extra rigidity. Profiled CFC-free insulation. For more detailed information applicable to a particular wall construction, contact IG’s technical team.
Performance:
- Fire:
IG lintels have been subjected to a fire test (WARRES No. 101263) in accordance with BS 476-20: 1987, at Exova Warrington Fire and achieved a one hour fire performance.
- Corrosion:
IG’s standard range of lintels are manufactured from high quality grade pre-galvanized carbon steel with a zinc coating of 600 g/m² (including both sides).
- Structural:
The IG lintel range has safe working loads as detailed in each applicable loading table in the IG Lintel Guide brochure. The structural performance figures within each table have been ascertained by testing in accordance with the requirements of standards BS EN 5977-2: 1983 and BS EN 845-2: 2003.
