Stainless Steel Lintels

This form does not exist

Stainless Steel Lintels are ideal when the life expectancy and maintenance programme of a building are key design considerations, for example in specialist laboratory or medical applications, hospitals, residential care homes, schools, prisons and institutional buildings. Stainless steel is suitable in these developments because of its outstanding anti-corrosion properties.
