Natural Stone Lintel

Application Areas

Natural stone lintels are horizontal structural elements placed above doorways, windows, or other openings to support the weight above, often carved for both function and aesthetics. A lintel is a beam put across openings in structures to sustain the load of the structure above. Examples include doors and windows. The lintel beam measures the same width as the wall and has built-in ends. Natural Stone Lintels are classified based on their construction material. They help protect windows and doors. Adding ornate lintels to a structure can enhance its architectural appeal. Regarding lintel architecture, rectangular stones might be used. This form of lintel is commonly utilized in areas where stone is easily accessible.

Stone lintels are traditionally made of natural stone, such as limestone, sandstone, granite, or other durable and load-bearing stones. The choice of stone depends on factors like the building's architectural style and the stone's availability. Stone lintels are chosen for their strength and load-bearing capacity. They must be able to support the weight of the masonry, brickwork, or other building materials above the opening. Stone lintels are used to span openings in walls and distribute the structural load to the vertical supports on the sides, ensuring the stability of the building. They also help to maintain the shape of the opening and provide architectural detailing. They tie into stone carving through the shaping and finishing processes and can complement designs like crazy paving or kerb-edged circular features.
