The Strucsol Short Lintel Repair Kit is designed to support brickwork over openings up to 1.0 M wide

Applications

Support of brickwork where structural timber or steel door frames originally provided support and have now been replaced by non load bearing PVC frames. However, this kit is aimed specifically at newly installed UPVC doors and small windows where:

• Existing angle steel lintels have failed
• There is no existing lintel and brickwork has dropped as a result.

If your lintel is wider than 1m, choose from one of the repair kits below: 

Window Lintel Repair Kit (Resin)

Window Lintel Repair Kit (Grout)

Benefits

The kit removes the need for expensive helical wire lintels or the destruction caused by retro fitting an angle steel or catnic lintel.

Unsupported bricks are mechanically fixed to brickwork supported by the corbeling action above the frame.

Installation

• Use extra long drill bit (supplied with kit) to drill from the underside of the opening up to the the brickwork that is supported by the corbeling action of the wall. See our video for a visual explanation of this.
• Insert the 10mm diameter Strucsol Ties into the install tool.
• Use the hammer action of the drill to drive the ties into the pilot hole locking the brickwork together.
