A lintel or lintol is a structural horizontal block that spans the space or opening between two vertical supports. It can be a decorative architectural element, or a combined ornamented structural item. It is often found over portals, doors, windows and fireplaces.
The width of the lintel, or the width of the combination of side by side lintels, should equal the width of the supported masonry wythe. Typical concrete compressive strengths for precast lintels range from 2500 to 3500 psi.intels are manufactured to an actual height of 7-5/8 inches to coincide with the typical course height of concrete masonry. A modular lintel length should be specified which equals the clear span plus at least two times the lintel height to provide for proper bearing at each end.
