Steel Lintels

Find the right steel lintel for your project from our comprehensive range of cavity, box and solid wall lintels. We carry around 80 steel lintel products on site (each with multiple length options), and we stock almost everything day-to-day so you’re not left waiting. Most items are available for fast delivery in 5–7 days across the UK, or you can collect the same day from our Tipton premises.

Why choose steel over concrete?

Steel lintels are the go-to for many modern builds thanks to their high strength-to-weight ratio and predictable performance. Compared with concrete lintels, steel options typically:

• Offer higher load capacities for the same span with less self-weight.
• Allow longer clear spans and slimmer profiles for easier detailing.
• Arrive galvanised for corrosion resistance and durability.
• Simplify installation where speed and handling matter (lighter to lift, easier to position).
  

Concrete lintels remain a solid choice for aggressive environments or where thermal mass and simplicity are preferred; however, steel lintels excel in most cavity wall and wide-span applications and pair well with modern insulation strategies.

Product range highlights

• Cavity wall lintels for standard and wide cavities, including heavy-duty options for concentrated loads.
  
• Box and channel lintels for solid walls, inner leafs and special applications.
  
• Lengths from short openings to large spans, with multiple increments per model to match your exact opening.
  

Accessories you might need

Complete the opening correctly with weep vents, cavity trays, DPCs, and wall starter kits—all available alongside the lintel to keep your build moving and compliant.
