All Supergalv lintels are protected by hot-dip galvanizing the complete lintel after fabrication. This process out performs all other protection systems by: Investment in manufacturing technology continues to underpin Birtley’s commitment to the UK lintel market, and to ensure that the Supergalv range maintains its leading position when measured by quality, performance, durability, design and cost-effectiveness. Fully protecting every surface, cut edge and weld with a metallurgically bonded zinc coating, where other systems actually remove zinc during fabrication and do not provide full protection to all surfaces. At the heart of Birtley’s lintel production today is a fully automated, computer-controlled manufacturing line that processes the product from raw coil to finished item in a single sequence. This maintains a consistent, precision, quality lintel while achieving extraordinary levels of output. The plant was custom designed to Birtley’s specification and manufactured by Europe’s leading suppliers of metal-forming machinery, and this multi-million pound investment underlines the long-term commitment of Birtley to the lintel industry. Creating a build-up of zinc coating at the most vulnerable points (edges etc.) which are more susceptible to damage on site and are the least protected in other systems. Depositing a minimum zinc coating thickness of 65µm in a metallurgical bond over the base steel. Optional ‘Ultragalv 2000’ (U2k) corrosion protection system. This achieves a coating thickness of 150µm by shotblasting the steel prior to galvanising. This is up to 7 times more Zinc corrosion protection than other lintels, and the life of a Zinc coating is directly proportional to its thickness. Insulation All external cavity wall lintels are insulated with expanded polystyrene blocks to BS EN 13163. The insulation is CFC, HCFC and HFA free and these agents are not used at any stage in manufacture. All lintels comply with Parts L1 and L2 of the Building Regulations approved documents. The insulation has an ozone depletion potential of zero, and being blown with pentane achieves a BREEAM credit for having a global warming potential of zero. Beyond the automated lintel line lies the state-of-the-art technology built in to the Company’s galvanizing facility, the UK’s first fullyautomated, hot-dip galvanizing plant. Commissioned at a cost of over £2.5 million, it incorporates one of the UK’s largest galvanizing baths. This computer-controlled facility utilises proven European technology to achieve a level and consistency of quality never before seen in this country, while substantially increasing Birtley’s capacity and lowering manufacturing costs. We have a fully-computerised lintel scheduling function where the expertise of our Technical Advisory Service provides support and advice in the specification of lintels, including the provision of structural calculations for building regulation submissions, and the design of special lintels or steelwork to suit particular projects or unusual forms of construction. All this is supported by extensive stocks held at Birtley of all the most popular lintel types, offering ready availability at all times. Flexible production systems ensure a rapid response to all other lintel requirements. Most important of all, though, is the close partnership which exists between Birtley and its nationwide network of builders’ merchants and distributors, whose commitment to stocks of Supergalv lintels allows them to provide an excellent level of service, whenever and wherever required. 4 The underside of the insulation is ridged to act as an efficient plaster key and the absence of a baseplate removes any possibility of a coldbridge occurring at the window head. Structural Performance The structural performance of Supergalv lintels is supported by systematic and extensive in-house testing and confirmed by independent testing. Lintels have been tested for structural performance, flexural strength and shear load resistance by the University of Wales School of Engineering and the University of Teesside Heavy Structures Test facility. The safe working loads shown are derived from calculations on the physical properties supported by tests, and refer to uniformly distributed loads applied in the ratio of: ‘CB’ range 1:1 to 1:3 ‘CB HD’ range 1:1 to 1:5 ‘HS’ ‘AT’ range 1:5 to 1:19 ‘HDX’ range 1:5 to 1:19 ‘SX’ range 1:5 to 1.19 ‘XHD’ range 1:5 to 1:19 For loads ratios beyond this range, or for any unusual loading conditions, please contact our Technical Department for advice. 5 Regulatory Authority Relative Performance of Corrosion Protection Systems as Applied to Steel Lintels Supergalv lintels are designed and manufactured taking into account the requirements of: The current British/European standard (BS EN 8452:2003) allows various grades of corrosion protection, with the responsibility for compliance resting with the specifier, who must take into account exposure categories and local climatic conditions. Don’t be caught out, specify the correct system for the job. - BSI - NHBC - HAPM (Housing Association Property Mutual) - Zurich Municipal Life to First Maintenance Chart - BRE Based on category 3 exposure (moderate to severe), as defined by ‘Galvanizers Association’ (1.5µm per annum Zinc atmospheric corrosion rate). All lintels conform fully to EN 845-2:2003. The Supergalv CB Range - feature-packed design for the 21st Century. The CB range is designed for ease of installation and to exceed the performance requirements of all existing standards. In applying state of the art technology to improve design standards, we have also recognised our duty to the environment by selecting an insulation system which is 100% CFC-free, HCFC free and has both an ozone depletion of zero, and a global warming potential of zero. 110 YEARS Thermal values of wall construction maintained through lintel. Easily installed, locating entirely within cavity. The Supergalv range is considered non-hazardous to health under normal conditions of use, as laid down by the COSHH regulations 1994. Please refer to page 11 for advice on the correct storage, handling and installation of lintels. 60 Manufacture 50 Supergalv lintels are produced from decoiled slit steel, cut to length and cold formed by press-braking. Where appropriate, seam welding to BS6265 1982 or spot welding to BS 1140 1980 completes fabrication. All lintels are then hot-dip galvanized following an extensive chemical pre-treatment, by immersion in our own galvanizing bath operating at a temperature of 450˚C. Lintels are then allowed to air cool to avoid any risk of distortion. 20 10 Fully insulated lintel - no air gaps, no interruptions, pure insulation. Although the Supergalv and Ultragalv processes offer the highest level of corrosion protection available, there may be instances where the use of stainless steel may be more appropriate, e.g. certain industrial applications, or marine environments. To satisfy these requirements we can offer our full range of lintels fabricated from stainless steel to BS EN 10088-2 (304 S15). Other grades may also be available, please contact Technical Department for advice. 80 30 Design provides firm location for masonry to maintain dimensions and integrity of cavity. Corrosion protection is provided by zinc to BS EN 1179: 2003 Health & Safety 40 Simple plastering and curtain-batten fixing etc. to blockwork. Supergalv lintels are manufactured from steel to BSEN 10025 Fe 430 A, having a minimum yield stress of 300 N/mm2. 90 70 No need to cut blocks.

This commitment to quality is reinforced by the award of the BSI Kitemark to lintels within the range. All Supergalv lintels fully satisfy the requirements of EN 845-2:2003. 7 Custom-built Versatility Custom Options Purpose Made Lintels When the building design demands something out of the ordinary, Supergalv lintels can be custom-designed and manufactured to suit a wide variety of opening shapes, dimensions and loadings. Typical special applications include: Arch lintels, e.g. Natural Arch, Gothic Arch, Radius Arch Corner lintels Curved in Plan lintels Apex lintels Cant brick lintels Extra heavy duty lintels Roller shutter lintels Extra long span lintels (to 9.5m) Purpose-made lintels are designed and manufactured in close liaison with the specifier and contractor, including the provision of full structural calculations where required, ensuring that all requirements are satisfied and that installation is straightforward. As well as an infinite range of special lintel designs to suit any architectural design or loading requirement, Supergalv lintels are available in all cavity wall styles adapted to suit special circumstances. Please contact our Technical Advisory service for details and information on price and availability. Examples of these special service lintels are: CP Where the underside of the lintel is completely exposed, e.g. porches, driveways, etc., a closer plate can be welded prior to galvanizing to provide a neat, aesthetically pleasing finish to the soffit of the lintel. To specify, add ‘CP’ to the end of the lintel reference, e.g. CB50 CP. (Lintel will be supplied uninsulated, unless specified otherwise). NM Where the inner leaf of a cavity wall is fair-faced and the inner flange of the lintel is not plastered, the plaster key on this flange can be omitted. To specify, add ‘NM’ to the end of the lintel reference, e.g. CB50 NM. Manufactured within Birtley utilising CAD and CNC fabrication facilities, all purpose-made lintels comply fully with EN 845-2:2003, are manufactured within the QA systems of BS EN 9001 and, very importantly, are finished to the same standard of corrosion protection as the standard range of Supergalv lintels - i.e. 65µm zinc coating to all surfaces, applied by hot-dip galvanizing after fabrication. Optional ‘Ultragalv 2000’ offers minimum of 150µm of Zinc projection. Purpose made lintels are also available in stainless steel to BS EN 10088-2. ND To minimise the mortar bed thickness at the end bearings, e.g. when using stone heads and surrounds, the weather drip on the front flange of the lintel can be omitted. To specify, add ‘ND’ to the end of the lintel reference, e.g. CB50 ND. U2K ‘Ultragalv 2000’ maximum corrosion protection with 150µm Zinc coating. To specify add ‘U2K’ to the end of the lintel reference, e.g. CB50 U2K. Our technical department can also offer guidelines for installation of special lintels, as some designs, such as curved on plan and lengths over 4.8m which may need to be propped during installation.

In no case should the lintel tray extend less than 50mm beyond the cavity side of the solid masonry return to drain clear of a vertical dpc. Materials and Workmanship to Support Regulation 7. • The width of a lintel bearing on an inner leaf should be equal to at least 80% of the thickness of that leaf. • The overhang of masonry supported by lintel should not exceed 25mm. • The cavity widths shown in our tables are maximum dimensions and must not be exceeded. For details of which lintel ranges have been assessed see website 10 11 Design & Building Practice for Steel Lintels Damp Proof Systems HAPM Rating • Good building practice encourages the use of a separate damp proof course to a lintel in all external wall-situations, and Birtley Building Products endorses this approach in all circumstances. • The HAPM Component Life Manual assesses the life to first maintenance for Supergalv lintels as 45 years when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. This exceeds the maximum 35+ year rating of Class A standard. • Regardless of lintel profile or corrosion protection system, BRE and NHBC require the application of a separate dpc in all buildings in Scotland, Northern Ireland and all coastal regions and areas of Severe Exposure (as defined in BRE Digest 127) in England. Material Compatibility • Mortar must comply with the requirements of BS 5628 (Part 3: 1985). • Timber preservatives used for the protection of joinery components (e.g. windows) are unlikely to affect galvanized steel except that preservatives based on copper-chrome-arsenic (CCA) and inorganic flame retardants may attack galvanized steel (ref. BRE IS 11/77). • The cavity tray should have a vertical height of at least 140mm with a minimum rise of 100mm from the front of the cavity. The length of the tray should be such that it extends 150mm beyond the inner face of the cavity closer. The cavity tray should extend beyond the front toe of the lintel to protect door and window heads, with the upstand returned into the inner leaf masonry. • If possible, provision of all necessary fixing holes should be arranged so as to be carried out at the time of fabrication and before galvanizing. • Stop ends should be provided by turning up the ends of the tray, or by the use of separate self-adhesive units. A minimum of two bedweeps should be used at 450mm centres. Installation Advice • Do not use damaged lintels, inspect at delivery stage. Fire Resistance • Do not bear lintels onto cut blocks, always use full masonry units or padstones. • The BRE Fire Research Station ‘Guidelines for the Construction of Fire Resisting Structural Elements’ gives design recommendations applicable to lintels. • Do not dry bed lintels on bearings. Mortar beds should be used to prevent lintel settling under load. • Independent test reports in accordance with BS 476 are available from Supergalv Lintels. • Do use an additional DPC. Thermal Insulation • Do use stop ends and bedweeps (at 450mm centres) to all lintels in fairfaced masonry walls. • Normally the thermal conductivity of an exposed wall is limited to a maximum U Value of 0.35 W/m2K in dwellings and other residential buildings, industrial or storage buildings, where the prescribed maximum area for glazing and minimum standards of insulation for solid areas are adhered to. THE ONLY COMPLETE RANGE OF L I N T E L S HOT DIP GALVANIZED AFTER MANUFACTURE • Do ensure that open back lintels are filled with properly bonded masonry before work proceeds over. • Do ensure that both leaves of the cavity wall are raised equally to avoid eccentric loading of lintel flanges. • To avoid cold bridging over the wall face area behind the lintel, the masonry or insulation system of the designed value should be maintained to the head level of the lintel. • Do position concrete floor units carefully and gently to avoid impact damage and shock loads which may temporarily over stress the lintel with resultant excessive deflection or distortion. • Do make sure that the lintel toe projects beyond the window head to prevent water ingress. • Lintels of Open Back design achieve the same U value as the wall by being filled with the same blockwork and insulation material. This allows an increase in single glazed window area. Lintels of Box design can be supplied with expanded polystyrene blocks for additional insulation. • Do ensure that the maximum cavity width is not exceeded, and that masonry does not overhang by more than 25mm. Supergalv Lintels cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions in this listing, nor for any consequences which may arise directly or indirectly from its use.
