Why Lintels Fail And Why They Are Needed
Lintels are needed for windows and doorways to structurally support the above loads of the window and the doorway The above loads of the doorway and windows would be brickwork and when lintels fail they cause the layers of the brickwork to separate and therefore cause structural cracks .
Lintels are also needed to protect the window sill and the frame of the doorway from becoming damaged . When lintels fail they are caused because of a few common reasons . These reason include that the lintel was installed many years ago , the failing lintel is made of timber or that a non structural expert carried out the lintel installation .
Lintels installed many years ago where made of timber which is now commonly known as a inefficient material due to a variety of factors. Also when a non expert carry’s out the job they almost always do it incorrectly , this is why you should call a structural specialist first .
How We Repair Lintels
The first step in any lintel repair would be to structurally support the loads above the failing lintel . After we have done this we can safely remove the failed lintel because the above loads would stay firm and not fall any lower due to our structural supports and structural props.
When the prior lintel has then been removed then and any debris has been cleaned up then we can move onto installing the new lintel to support the above loads of the doorway or window . This new lintel would be either concreate or steel so that it stays strong for many years to come. We would then do one final clean up and the job would be complete .
