  • The only range of steel lintels, fully hot-dip galvanized AFTER manufacture,
  • Best corrosion protection on the market,
  • Manufactured to BS845-2:2003,
  • Extensive range to suit every requirement,
  • No exposed edges or welds.

    • Corrosion Protection

    All Supergalv lintels are protected by hot-dip galvanizing the complete lintel after fabrication. This process out performs all other protection systems by:


  • Fully protecting every surface, cut edge and weld with a metallurgically bonded zinc coating, where other systems actually remove zinc during fabrication and do not provide full protection to all surfaces
  • Creating a build-up of zinc coating at the most vulnerable points (edges etc.) which are more susceptible to damage on site and are the least protected in other systems.
  • Depositing a minimum zinc coating thickness of 65um in a metallurgical bond over the base steel.
  • Optional 'Ultragalv 2000' (U2k) corrosion protection system. This achieves a coating thickness of 150um by shotblasting the steel prior to galvanizing. This is up to 7 times more Zinc corrosion protection than other lintels, and the life of a Zinc coating is directly proportional to its thickness.

    • Purpose-Made Lintels

    When the building design demands something out of the ordinary, Supergalv lintels can be custom designed and manufactured to suit a wide variety of opening shapes, dimensions and loadings.

    Purpose-made lintels are designed and manufactured in close liaison with the specifier and contractor, including the provision of full structural calculations where required, ensuring that all requirements are satisfied and that installation is straightforward.


    Bay 6 Window Support System

    The easy way to support cavity walls above corner windows, bay windows and sun lounges.

  • Uses standard components available ex-stock,
  • Easy to transport and handle,
  • No special drawings or design work needed,
  • Suits most standard wall constructions,
  • Hot-dip galvanized after fabrication.

    • This system is intended for use in domestic loading conditions with timber floors and roofs. Do not use to support pre-cast concrete floors. If in doubt contact technical department for advice.
