Steel lintels in Preston are only one of the various types of material lintels you can use in construction. They are associated with buildings that have heavier superimposed loads and large openings. The steel lintels are made of channel sections or rolled steel joists. When used as a single unit, the steel joist attains the same length as that of the wall by embedding it in concrete or cladding with stone facing. However, when using more than one unit, and when the units are placed side by side, they are kept in position by tube separators. The most common areas where lintels are used include the above wall of doors and windows. They help to provide structure to a building as well as transfer the load from the above wall to the sidewalls.
