A range of purposely designed Ultrafloor Lintels is also available for use with the suspended flooring system or wherever else necessary. Ultrafloor Lintels are:

  • Made of high strength concrete under strict quality control.
  • Manufactured in four convenient sizes to suit all standard and modular bricks and are easily rendered or covered with gyprock internally.
  • Fire rated under load in accordance with AS 1530.4-1990.
  • Non-corrodible and thus ideal for marine and industrial exposure conditions.
  • Able to be used in pier and beam situations for new house foundations and also for
    re-cladding of existing houses.
  • Ideal for use in creating an upstand ("hob") on a concrete slab.

The load charts provided in this brochure indicate the safe maximum span when Ultrafloor lintels are installed in various configurations.


Construction Notes

Composite Action

The load carrying capacity of the Ultrafloor lintels increases significantly when they act compositely with the brickwork above. This additional strength depends on the number of brick courses applied and the tables provided in this brochure give an indication of the maximum spans in different configurations. The following instructions are important:

  • Lintels must be placed with the rough side on top to provide a proper key to the masonry above;
  • Lintels must be propped at intervals not exceeding 1500mm until the masonry mortar has matured.

Bearing Length

The minimum end bearing of the lintel on the brickwork is 100mm for spans up to 1200mm and 150mm for longer spans, based on the assumption of a minimum brick crushing strength of 20 MPa.

Any abnormal loading situation should be referred to the Ultrafloor Technical Department for further advice.

Installation of Hobs

The lintel sections are bonded to the top of the concrete slab so as to create an upstand or "hob'' of the desired height. An edge hob is achieved by bonding the lintel flush with the slab edge as shown in the photographs. Waterproofing is achieved by extending the bitumen coating or suitable membrane up the external face of the hob.
