Hughes Concrete Lintels
Concrete lintels are used over doorways and windows to carry the wall above.
Hughes manufacture, supply and deliver a wide range of precast concrete lintels. Stocking a wide range of sizes and lengths to allow for quick turnaround and competitive pricing.
Reinforced Precast Concrete Lintels
The ‘dry-cast’ production technique used to manufacture reinforced lintels results in a high strength, low water/cement ratio mix. A variety of sections are available to suit different wall thicknesses. Unlike prestressed concrete lintels which ‘bow’, reinforced lintels are almost completely level on its top and underside.

Prestressed Concrete Lintels
Efficient design is achieved through the stressing of steel strand for reinforcement. This results in a lighter lintel with a high load bearing capacity. Particularly when used in composite action with the masonry wall above.

Padstones
Padstones are stronger than a masonry block and distribute loads efficiently through adjoining blockwork. This reduces the potential for cracks and structural failure.
