Best Lintels to Strengthen Wall Openings
Doors, windows and other similar wall openings leave a weak area in the wall right above the opening, as these structures are not really made to withstand heavy loads. To provide much-needed support, lintels are installed to carry the load. Here at Western Sydney Building Supplies, we have a wide selection of lintels that you can use to ensure the structural integrity of your structure without having to sacrifice aesthetics.

Different Types of Lintels for Construction
Lintels are generally classified according to the type of material they are made of. That being said, concrete lintels are by far the most popularly used in construction because of their massive load-bearing capability. Concrete lintels are also easily adaptable to any size or shape, making them a highly versatile choice.
Timber lintels are the conventional option, and are still popularly used in rural areas. However, timber comes with problems like rotting and termite infestation. For larger openings, steel lintels are preferred by contractors because they are highly resistant to corrosion and can stay sturdy for years. These varieties usually come in the form of angle bars, flat bars or shelf angles.
