Lintels (angle irons), I-Beams and C-Channels with welded plates are all used to bridge openings within masonry walls. They are imperative in carrying the cumulative load of multi-floor heights of masonry.

If these crucial steel members corrode and bow, the structural stability of the masonry wall becomes questionable. Faulty lintels will cause the masonry shores to sag, skew or worst case fall off. For this reason it is vital that lintels be replaced if found defective.

In addition, all openings should have a proper flashing system installed to divert water out and away from the interior of the opening.  Flashing with drip wicks are necessary components to keep steel lintels, C-Channels, and I-Beams from corroding.
