Keystone S/K-90 Cavity Lintel
The Keystone S/K-90 Cavity Lintel is a standard load lintel designed to support structural openings with cavity widths between 90–105 mm. It provides reliable support across door and window openings and is suitable for a wide range of domestic and light commercial building projects. The lintel is designed so that blockwork can be built tight against its inner face, ensuring proper alignment and load transfer. The Keystone S/K-90 Cavity Lintel is a practical option for customers sourcing
steel lintels, offering reliable structural performance for suitable openings, while anyone looking for
metal lintels can specify it for appropriate brickwork, blockwork and masonry applications.
Before installing floor units, a mortar bed should be placed on top of the blockwork to ensure even distribution of load. For best results and to maintain construction speed, it is recommended that lintels are propped during installation.
