What are wall lintels?

Wall lintels are structural elements that provide support over openings in walls, such as windows or doors. They transfer the load of the wall above the opening to the sides, preventing the wall from collapsing.

There are various types of wall lintels, including steel, concrete, and masonry lintels. Steel lintels are strong and durable, making them ideal for large openings.

When choosing a wall lintel, it is important to consider the size of the opening, the load it will be carrying, and the desired aesthetic. Lintels should be installed by a professional to ensure proper alignment and support. Regular maintenance and inspection of wall lintels is crucial to ensure they are in good condition and able to perform their intended function. If a lintel is damaged, it should be replaced promptly to prevent any potential collapse.
