What Is a Lintel?

Supporting Masonry Above Openings

A lintel is a structural component installed above openings such as windows and doors to support the masonry above. Over time, exposure to moisture and weather can cause steel lintels to rust and deteriorate.

Signs of Lintel Damage

Common warning signs include:

  • Cracks above windows or doors
  • Rust stains on brickwork
  • Bulging or displaced bricks
  • Separating mortar joints

Why Replace a Damaged Lintel?
