South Coast Stone can produce lintils in ANY LENGTH, WIDTH, HEIGHT and DEPTH,
Sizes shown here are from our standard range and are existing moulds that we have.
For delivery purposes, we recommend having any lintils exceeding 1600mm made in half.
If customer is willing to collect then the maximum length can be up to 2600mm, as long as the dimensions comply to Industry standard.
The maximum length lintil we would recommend in one piece is 1600mm in length.
Making the lintels in halve means we can produce any length. Sills made in half come with a left hand and right hand section..
Load Bearing
Items such as lintels, which are subjected to both compressive and tensional forces should be specified with care.
Lintels can be supplied as either non loadbearing components (i.e. decorative), or load bearing (i.e. structural).
With decorative heads it is important that they are used inconjunction with a steel support or lintel as they
are not able to carry additional loads other than their own self weight. With structural heads, the loadbearing
capacity will be specified by the manufacturer. In cases of uncertainty, the manfacturer's advice should be obtained.
Steel support lintels are normally used below the decorative head to support the head itself and the entire brickwork
load above. There are however, cases where it is desirable to fit the support lintel over the decorative head so that
the head is self supporting while the lintel carries only the load of the brickwork from above. This should not be done
without first consulting the UKCSA manufacturer
