PRECAST LINTELS
PRECAST LINTELS – A RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT SOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Precast lintels are an important structural element in construction, providing strength around openings such as doors and windows. They help to maintain the integrity and safety of the overall building structure.
For specifiers, choosing the right lintel is important to the success of any project.
Precast concrete lintels offer numerous benefits compared with in-situ concrete components or lintels manufactured from other materials e.g. steel. They are manufactured off-site under controlled conditions, ensuring consistent quality, strength, and durability.
At FP McCann, we manufacture and supply precast lintels for construction projects across the UK. We are a family-run business and combine technical expertise with a strong commitment to supporting our client base.
Our team works closely with architects, main contractors, and sub-contractors to provide reliable, high-quality products backed by full technical support, from initial design to final installation.
WHY CHOOSE PRECAST LINTELS FOR YOUR PROJECT?
Precast lintels are structural elements used to span openings in walls, such as windows and doors. They are designed to carry the load of the structure above the opening and transfer it safely to the surrounding masonry or framework.
Without a properly specified lintel, the stability of the wall or building can be compromised.
Specifying precast lintels brings many benefits for architects, main contractors and sub-contractors.
APPLICATIONS OF PRECAST LINTELS
Precast lintels can be used across a wide range of construction sectors due to their strength, durability, and ease of installation.
Residential developments
In residential projects, precast lintels are commonly used to span window and door openings in houses, apartment blocks, and housing developments.
They provide a simple, reliable solution that fits with brickwork, blockwork, or stone facades.
Commercial buildings
In commercial construction, such as offices, retail spaces, and industrial units, precast lintels are used to support larger spans and heavier loadings.
Their consistent quality ensures that they meet both structural performance and aesthetic requirements, especially when used alongside other precast elements like wall panels or cladding.
Infrastructure projects
Civils and infrastructure works often require heavy-duty solutions. Precast lintels are used in projects like bridge works, tunnels, culverts, and retaining walls to support substantial structural loads.
