L1 type lintels have a top hat profile which offers distinct advantages in terms of durability and structural characteristics including:

The maintenance of the integrity of the wall structure and its thermal properties through uniform and continuous bricklaying the upstand of the lintel sits within the cavity;
Expanded polystyrene Easy curtain bracket fixing. No batten required

Excellent thermal efficiency as a direct result of its design which, with the addition of an expanded polystyrene infill (standard on allL1 lintels) , provides a U value through the lintel of significantly less than 0.33 W/m2 K; Reduced maintenance costs through the elimination of cracked plaster due to the differential expansion of dissimilar materials associated with Box section lintels. Semi-pierced slots on the inner flange give an excellent key for the plaster finish.

L1/E lintels are designed to provide support over openings at eaves level. To achieve the loading figures indicated on the opposite page, the lintel must be built in with the blockwork as shown, and a continuous wall plate must be provided over the opening and reveals. Expanded polystyrene Easy curtain bracket fixing. No batten required Indented plaster key Plaster key across cavity The loading figures are achieved by using composite action of the inner leaf blockwork. Providing the maximum cavity width for the appropriate lintel is maintained the outer flange will have a brickwork bearing of 13mm. The lintels must be built in with the blockwork positioned against the upstand of the lintel together with a continuous wall plate as shown.

L7/50
68
To achieve the loading figures shown, the L7 lintel must be secured with restraining clips and a block /batten (not supplied) must be used to prevent lateral deflection (twist) during the building stage. A single block/batten 300mm long at mid span will be sufficient. Restraining clips should be fixed with 3.3 x 50mm galvanised nails at no more than 500mm centres each side of mid span. Clips should be positioned with their vertical centres at the top of the lintel to allow for lintel movement and shrinkage of timber frame.

IG Single Wall Lintels are for the support of loads from half-brick to full brick widths in solid brick or block wall construction. The L9 Lintel allows the face of brickwork to show on both sides of an opening in a full brick-wide wall. Meter Box Lintel, L10 and L11 lintels allow the face of the brickwork to show on one side of an opening in half-brick wide constructions. Meter Box Lintel lengths from 750-1350mm in increments of 150mm. Single skin lintels should always be propped. NHBC guidelines propose no greater than a 1m span for props during construction.

Designed to provide a quick and safe method of spanning small openings (up to 1000mm) in internal walls, IG internal lintels are both economical and easy to store, carry and use. When a minimum height of 152mm of brick/blockwork with well-filled joints of cement mortar is built over the lintel, the construction will be load-bearing for normal domestic building purposes after curing. The loading capacity of the lintel can be increased by increasing the height of the walling built across it.

loading. Masonry above lintels should be allowed to cure before applying floor or roof loads. If this is not achievable, temporary support in the form of props should be used. NHBC guidelines propose no greater than a 1m span for props during construction. 7. When installing concrete floor units or other heavy components, care should be taken to avoid shock loading. Temporary support in the form of props is advisable if there is a limited amount of masonry to the outer leaf. Pre-cast floor units should be laid on a mortar bed to avoid load concentrations at high points in the masonry. Floor units should not be dragged into position.
10. Masonry should not overhang any flange by more than 25mm. 11. The lintel toe must project beyond the window/door frame and it is recommended that a flexible sealing compound is used between the underside of the lintel flange and the frame to avoid moisture penetration. 12. When the underside of a lintel is exposed, its appearance can be enhanced by the addition of lintel soffit cladding, supplied in white and brown, or by the application of a good quality etch primer and paint after installation.

Cavity Trays
A UNIQUE SINGLE ELEMENT CAVITY TRAY SYSTEM
GABLE ABUTMENT SYSTEM When a stepped or staggered gable abutment is formed the status of the external skin below the roof line changes to that of an internal skin. Accordingly, every gable abutment must be constructed so as to prevent dampness and rainwater from penetrating below the abutting roof line. The IG Gable Abutment Cavity Tray forms a stepped cavity dpc which is incorporated into the building during bricklaying. The completed structure is ready to receive roof lead flashing in the conventional way. WHERE TO USE THE IG CAVITY TRAY - TYPE GA Where a new lean-to extension meets an existing building, Manufactured from polypropylene, the IG Gable Abutment Cavity Tray is available in three sizes to suit all roof pitches up to 60. It is suitable for use in all brick, block and timberframed constructions, the large bridging piece catering for cavity widths from 50mm to 100mm. Supplied flat, the pre-creased trays allow for easy on-site folding to the required shape - catchment, left and right hand or ridge tray. A locating lip facilitates the accurate placement of trays during bricklaying. CALCULATING QUANTITIES The single-element system makes the calculation of quantities very simple. Whether you are building with bricks or blocks the rule is the same: you require one cavity tray per course per slope. On a double slope roof this calculation will give you an extra tray that can be used to lengthen the ridge tray if required. SIZES AND ROOF PITCHES The IG Gable Abutment Cavity Tray is available in three sizes GABLE ABUTMENT THE IG CAVITY TRAY - TYPE RFT Available off-the-shelf in flat-packs, the IG Refurbishment Tray combines ease of handling, transportation and use with complete effectiveness. It meets all current Building Regulations and NHBC requirements. Manufactured from polypropylene, the IG Refurbishment Tray is 620mm wide by 280mm deep and is suitable for use in all brick, block and timber-framed constructions. The large bridging piece caters for cavity widths from 50mm to 100mm. Supplied flat, the pre-creased trays allow for easy on-site folding to the required shape including forming left and right hand end stops. A locating lip facilitates accurate placement

that are folded on site to form right-angled corners. The trays are pre-creased and incorporate adjustment for 50mm, 75mm or 100mm cavity widths and incorporate mastic sealant strips for overlapping areas. REFURBISHMENT SYSTEM The IG Refurbishment Cavity Trays System has been specifically developed to facilitate both the insertion of a new tray into an existing wall and the repair or alteration of an existing damp proof course.
the original external wall becomes an internal partition below the roof line and must be protected from dampness and the penetration or rainwater. Similarly, when a flat roof is resurfaced with added insulation, or is reconstructed as an inverted roof with top paving, the roof level may be raised and thus require the skirting and its corresponding damp proof course to be lifted. In addition, existing cavity trays which have been poorly constructed or have rotted allowing water to leak through must be replaced.
