Steel Lintels, Articulation Joints & Damp Proof Course

Steel lintels

Depending on the house type, a steel lintel may be installed above a window or sliding door. However, due to the inconsistency of brick size and brick gauge some infill may be required to be installed. Steel lintels, where installed above the windows are galvanized steel.

Should discolouring on the surface occur it may be scrubbed off with a stiff brush.

Expansion Joints

Expansion or control joints have been installed during the construction of your new home. The expansion joints are an important part of the external structure. They are designed to allow for the natural ground movement that occurs between the seasons and the expansion joint can close or open with the change of seasons.

Do not impede the function by constructing a structure eg. pergola.
