Understanding Lintels: Their Importance and Function

Lintels are critical structural elements found above doors, windows, and other openings in buildings. They bear the load of the structure above these openings, distributing the weight to the adjacent walls. Over time, lintels can deteriorate due to various factors such as weather exposure, rust, or poor original construction. When lintels fail, they can compromise the structural integrity of the building, leading to significant safety concerns and costly repairs.

At Over The Top Masonry Restoration, we understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of your lintels. Our team is equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle all aspects of lintel repair and replacement, ensuring your building remains safe and structurally sound.
