Uses of lintels

A lintel can be defined as a constructional material in the form of a horizontal beam over the opening in a building (door, window, portals) that carries or supports the structure above it.  A lintel can also be called as the horizontal block that stretches over the space or opening between the two vertical supports. It serves as a backing for the structure over it by transferring the weight to the vertical supports, which usually are the part of the wall. The lintel beams are either made of   wood or steel or a combination of both wood and steel plate. An arch or a beam is quite similar to a lintel, but the only difference lies in the fact that a lintel is much easier and simpler in construction than a beam or arch.

Although lintels are one of the important members in the family of building materials in the modern architecture, but these could also be seen in many of the structures built in Europe by people of the classic ages.  If you are planning to build a home in Dubai then there are many organizations and  firms that can provide you different construction materials and lintels Dubai. The uses of lintels are dependent on the type being used. Lets us discuss a few of them here.

•         Timber lintels:

Wood or timber lintels were used in the past for construction purposes. But, because the timber is considered to be heavily priced, pretty less durable and more vulnerable to catch fire, the idea of using timber lintels for construction purposes was given up. However, people living in hilly regions who build their homes out of timber make use of timber lintels for their doors and windows. These types of lintels are sometimes provided by mild steel plates  in order to increase their strength.

•         Stone lintels:

The stone lintels are the most commonly used lintel types for various building construction purposes. Because of the availability and less cost, stone lintels are very popularly used. Their thickness is one of the most prominent feature that make them to be used so popularly. They are also used as a stretch support in the openings on the brick walls too. Either a single piece of stone lintel or more than piece can be used as a beam, depending upon the size of the opening. These lintels are also used as a supporting beam of fireplaces. Because of its weak tensile nature, it is not recommended to use a stone lintel where the structure is subjected to vibrations.

•         Brick lintels:

For shorter openings, which are less than 1meter and where the lintel beams will be supporting a lesser load, brick lentils are commonly used in such places. Frogged lentils are commonly used as these when stuffed with mortar makes the lentil more resistant and strong.

•         Reinforced Cement Concrete or RCC Lintels:

Because these are strong, rigid, fire resistant, economical and easily constructed, the RCC lintels are more common and widely used to span the openings for doors, windows of various buildings. These lintel can be constructed according to the preferred length and depth and is offered by many lintel Dubai firms.

These materials offer quick, economical and flexible solutions wherever wire supporting is an issue.

•         Ladder Cable Tray

A ladder cable tray is made up of aluminum or steel and is used for around 75% of the cable tray wiring system installations. This type of cable tray is used to support spans ranging from 12 to 30 feet. Since a ladder tray is usually uncovered, it allows the air to circulate across the cables, thus allowing heat dissipation. Therefore the cables held in such a tray system will not allow the temperature in these cables to exceed, preventing any damage and aging of the wires. Moreover the rungs of this cable tray system provide a convenient anchor to the cables maintaining their positions.

•         Solid Bottom Cable Tray:

A solid bottom cable tray can be metallic or fiberglass and is used for supporting  electrical or telecommunication wire that generate minimum heat with short to intermediate support spans ranging from 5 to 12 feet. The solid bottom cable tray with covers renders EMI/ RFI shielding protection for very sensitive circuits. But, since moisture can build up in the cable trays because of the cover, therefore 1/4 inch drain holes are drilled at an interval of three feet in the bottom of the cable tray. Solid bottom cable trays with solid metal covers for nonplenum-rated cable is more commonly used in environmental air areas.

•         Trough Cable Tray

A trough cable tray system is available in both metal and nonmetallic materials. This type of cable tray is very commonly  used to handle the wires and cables that generate moderate heat and supports short to intermediate spans ranging from 3 to 12 feet. This cable tray system provides moderate ventilation and added cable support frequency and the bottom configuration of the tray provides cable support at every 4 inches.
