50mm Cavity Lintels

Looking for 50mm cavity lintels? Wade Building Supplies
stocks a range of cavity wall lintels designed for cavity widths within
the manufacturer's specified range, including standard, medium, heavy
and extra heavy-duty options.

Our range includes products from established manufacturers such as
Stressline, Catnic and Birtley, with different lintel
types and lengths available for a variety of cavity wall construction
requirements.

Choosing the correct lintel depends on the cavity width, structural
opening, loading conditions, inner leaf construction and required
bearing. Always check the manufacturer's technical information before
selecting a product.

Standard Duty 50mm Cavity Lintels

Standard-duty lintels are intended for openings where the loading
falls within the manufacturer's standard load tables. They are
commonly used for typical masonry openings where no unusual
additional loads are present.

Check the individual product specification for span, loading,
cavity range and bearing requirements.

Medium Duty 50mm Cavity Lintels

Medium-duty lintels provide greater loading capacity than
standard-duty products and can be appropriate where the loading
requirement is higher.

The actual lintel should always be selected using the manufacturer's
load tables for the required span and application.

Heavy Duty 50mm Cavity Lintels

Heavy-duty lintels are designed for openings subject to higher
structural loading. The additional load may arise from masonry,
floors, roofs or other structural elements depending on the
particular application.

Always confirm the required duty rating against the manufacturer's
technical data.

Extra Heavy Duty 50mm Cavity Lintels

Extra heavy-duty products are intended for particularly demanding
loading conditions. These products should only be selected where
their specified capacity is appropriate for the structural
requirements.

Refer to the manufacturer's loading tables before ordering.

What Is a 50mm Cavity Lintel?

A 50mm cavity lintel is a structural lintel designed
to support masonry above an opening in a cavity wall where the
product's specified cavity range is suitable.

The description "50mm cavity lintel" generally refers to the cavity
width the product is designed to accommodate. Individual
manufacturers may specify a range rather than exactly 50mm, so the
product dimensions should always be checked before ordering.

Where Are 50mm Cavity Lintels Used?

Suitable 50mm cavity lintels can be used above openings in cavity
wall construction, including applications such as new build
construction, extensions, alterations and renovation work.

The correct product depends on the construction, span and loading
rather than the cavity width alone.

What Should I Check Before Buying?

A cavity width of 50mm is only one part of choosing the correct lintel.
Select the information you already know to see what else you should
check.

Opening width

Cavity width

Loading

Inner leaf

Bearing
Opening width

Measure the structural opening accurately. The required lintel length
is not necessarily the same as the clear opening because the lintel
also needs to provide the manufacturer's specified end bearing.

Cavity width

Confirm the actual cavity width and make sure it falls within the
manufacturer's specified cavity range for the selected lintel.

Loading

Consider the masonry above the opening together with any floor,
roof or other structural loads that may be transferred to the
lintel. Use the manufacturer's load tables to select the appropriate
duty rating.

Inner leaf construction

Check the construction of the inner leaf and make sure the selected
lintel is designed for the relevant wall construction.

End bearing

Confirm the manufacturer's required minimum bearing at each end.
This should be considered when calculating the overall lintel length.

50mm Cavity Lintel FAQs

What is a 50mm cavity lintel?

A 50mm cavity lintel is designed for use in cavity wall construction
where the manufacturer's specified cavity range is suitable. Wade's
range includes products covering a 50-65mm cavity range.

What cavity width does a 50mm cavity lintel fit?

This depends on the individual lintel. Products described as 50mm
cavity lintels may cover a specified range, such as 50-65mm.
Always check the individual product dimensions.

What is the difference between standard and heavy-duty lintels?

The main difference is the load capacity and intended application.
Heavy-duty lintels are designed to support greater loading than
standard-duty products. The correct duty should be selected using
the manufacturer's loading information.

How do I choose the correct 50mm cavity lintel length?

Start with the structural opening width and then allow for the
minimum end bearing specified by the manufacturer. The lintel
length should therefore not be selected from the opening width
alone.

Can I use a standard-duty lintel for every opening?

No. The required duty rating depends on the span and loading.
Additional masonry, floor loads, roof loads or point loads may
require a higher-duty product.

Do Wade sell Stressline 50mm cavity lintels?

Yes. Wade's range includes Stressline cavity lintels within the
50mm cavity range and across different duty ratings.

Do Wade sell Catnic 50mm cavity lintels?

50mm cavity range.

Do Wade sell Birtley 50mm cavity lintels?

Yes. Wade stocks Birtley products within the 50mm cavity range,
including heavy-duty options.

What information should I have before ordering a lintel?

Ideally you should know the structural opening width, cavity width,
inner leaf construction, loading conditions and required bearing.
These details help determine the appropriate lintel type and
length.

Can Wade help me choose a 50mm cavity lintel?

If you are unsure which product is appropriate, contact Wade with
the opening dimensions, cavity information and details of the
loading above the opening so that the product specification can be
checked.
