Brick Feature Lintels
Keystone Brick Feature Lintels are a one piece prefabricated unit, manufactured bespoke to order, achieving even the most challenging architectural designs.
Keystone provides a technically advanced solution for an extensive range of brick slip installations including arches, panels, soffits and architectural features. Produced off site as a one piece prefabricated unit, the patented Keystone system ensures maximum performance thanks to the unique adhesion process
Keystone receives a consignment of the brick being used on site. This brick is then tailored to suit the client’s design and fixed to Keystone’s galvanised and powder-coated structural steel elements. The finished Brick Feature Lintel joins seamlessly with the already constructed brickwork

Patented Brick Slip System
With thousands of installations completed over the past decade the system is a proven and reliable solution which provides maximum adhesion of the brick slips.
The patented design of the perforated steel work interfaces with the adhesive allowing the adhesive to pass through and form a mushroom on the inside of the steel creating a physical lock.
Independent testing carried out by Ceram has verified that in destructive testing there were no failures in the steel/ adhesive interface.
Brick Adhesive
Keystone uses only specialist high performance adhesives designed primarily for the decorative brick industry which have been extensively tested and are BBA approved.
Controlled Conditions
Keystone Brick Slip Feature Lintels are produced off-site in a factory environment which ensures that the bonding process occurs in optimum controlled conditions free from wet weather, extreme temperature and excessive dust.
