Metal Lintels

About Our Metal Lintels

Metal lintels are an important structural element used to support masonry above openings while maintaining cavity continuity and thermal performance. Commonly specified for external walls, window openings, and cavity construction, steel lintels offer a strong, yet also lightweight solution, one that integrates cleanly with modern brickwork and blockwork systems.

At Joseph Parr Bradford, our metal lintels are designed for dependable performance on site, with options suited to a wide range of spans and wall constructions.

Metal lintels are widely used across housing developments, extensions, and refurbishment projects where consistent load support and reliable cavity detailing are required. Their manufactured accuracy allows for predictable installation and alignment, helping bricklayers maintain levels and coursing around openings.

Metal Lintel Options for Cavity and Window Openings

This range includes metal Birtley lintels engineered for cavity walls, solid walls, and external openings. Designed to support the outer leaf while maintaining cavity spacing, metal cavity lintels are commonly used above windows and doors where insulation continuity and moisture control are critical.

Steel lintels are often selected where reduced weight, longer spans, or integrated cavity features are required. Many profiles are shaped to suit standard brick and block dimensions, making them easier to install accurately while reducing the need for additional supports during construction.

For window openings in particular, metal lintels provide a clean, consistent solution that integrates well with insulation, DPCs, and cavity trays, supporting compliance with current building standards.
