Addressing thermal bridging in steel lintel specification

This CPD offers a more in depth insight into thermal bridging in lintels and Part L regulations. It examines heat loss in buildings and areas in the fabric of the building where a thermal bridge can occur.

What you can expect from this CPD:

  • An overview of heat loss in buildings
  • Difference in a Psi value and a U-value
  • What does Part L focus on?
  • SAP calculations
  • Specification of thermally efficient lintels

Find practical guidance on reducing thermal bridging through effective lintel specification. Also, gain a clear understanding of how Ψ-values influence SAP calculations and Part L compliance, while exploring specification strategies that improve the thermal performance of the building envelope without compromising structural integrity or design intent.

Application of steel lintels

Join us for a brief overview of our business and journey so far. This CPD will take you through our Certification and 3rd Party Accreditations, and the basic key information of steel lintels. We go into more depth on the wide range of lintels that have been developed and produced for various types of wall fabrics and project scales – including our solutions for both low-rise and high-rise buildings.

What you can expect from this CPD:

  • An introduction to steel lintels
  • Masonry cavity wall lintels
  • Single leaf and solid wall lintels
  • Non-combustible hi-rise lintels
  • Extended lintel range

Discover a practical understanding of steel lintel specification across a range of construction applications. You’ll explore how different lintel types are selected for varying wall constructions, gain insight into the benefits of third-party certification and product accreditation, and learn how to specify the most appropriate solution for both residential and commercial projects.

Specification of stainless steel lintels

Join us for this CPD which considers the importance of specification of stainless steel lintels. We discuss aggressive environments and areas of exposure, such as coastal locations, and the risks these conditions present to construction.  We take you through the latest industry standards and guidance, ensuring you are fully equipped for any project.

What you can expect from this CPD:

  • Risks to construction
  • Project areas typically at risk to exposure
  • LABC and NHBC guidance and recommendations
  • Keystone process for coastal regions
  • Potential pitfalls

Using practical project examples, the CPD explores how exposure conditions can influence lintel specification and material selection. It provides clear guidance to help specifiers make informed decisions, reduce the risk of corrosion and ensure the appropriate stainless steel grade is specified for the project environment.
