An ideal kit that contains the materials you need to carry out a window lintel repair

This is a kit to carry out repairs on a window lintel that is either failing or needs reinforcement after the installation of UPVC windows (usually taking the place of structurally supportive timber or metal window frames). For instructions on how this can be used, please see the attached video. 

Window Lintel Repair Kit (Grout based)

The lintel repair kit contains enough material to carry out the installation of a retro fitted lintel into 3.6M window opening.

Contains

• x1 6.5kg Strucsol HS Grout  
• x2 coils of 6mm x 10 metres helical bar (also known as helibars or helicoils)- bearing in mind that for lintel repair it should be twin wire in the slot. 
• x1 Strucsol Grout Gun with pointing nozzles including the stainless steel pointing nozzle to make grout application much cleaner and easier
• x1 Grout Whisk 

What is the difference between grout and resin for window lintel repairs?

Put simply, it depends on the urgency of the repairs you're carrying out.

If the brickwork around the lintel (or lack of lintel) is not at immediate risk of collapsing, use this grout kit- it has an initial set time of 1 hour (enough to take the initial structure load) and a full cure time of 14 days. It gives you lots more time to play with and carry out the repair in a cleaner manner. 

If the brickwork around the lintel is fragile and you need immediate strength from the repair, use our resin based kit- but keep in mind that that the resin sets in 10 minutes (quicker on warmer days), so you will need to be relatively quick at carrying out the repair.
