Fibo expanded clay concrete lintels, height 185 mm, width 150 mm, length 1790 mm

Fibo lintels are vibro-pressed expanded clay concrete beams with three-dimensional steel reinforcement that is treated against corrosion. Their widths and properties are matched to Fibo Efekt blocks, so they are the most convenient solution for openings in external walls and load-bearing structures made of these blocks. The lintels are light and can be installed by hand.

Key features

• Height 185 mm, width 100–300 mm, length 1190–2990 mm
• Load-bearing capacity from 8.3 to 35.7 kN/m depending on size
• Does not create a cold bridge (λ = 0.2 W/mK)
• With one course of Fibo Efekt blocks laid on top of the lintel, its load-bearing capacity increases by a factor of 1.5

Where to use

For openings in Fibo Efekt block walls; choose the lintel according to the size of the opening, the size of the wall and the load. The lintels are designed for distributed loads; when 3–4 courses of blocks are laid above them, an arching effect forms and most of the load is transferred to the masonry. Install the lintel only with the side marked by the arrows facing up.
