Lintels
Turkington Lintels are designed for use in domestic construction according to BS8110 Part 1 1997 and to carry loads assessed in accordance with BS5977 Part 1 1981. They will support a timber floor construction spanning up to 4.5m (Dead load 0.52kN/m 2, imposed load 1.5kN/m 2). Many features of modern construction may result in extra loading on the lintel – if any doubt exists, a structural engineer should be consulted.
Rough Faced Lintels
