Carry heavier loads and longer spans with the wall-bearer concrete lintel built for serious brickwork openings.

The Concrete Lintel - 170mm x 110mm from Vincent Buda and Company is a prestressed 65 MPa wall-bearer lintel engineered for single-skin brickwork where the opening is wide, the load is heavy, or both. At 170mm high and 110mm wide, this profile provides the structural depth needed for spans from 1800mm to 4800mm - large windows, wide doorways, and garage openings in rendered brickwork. Like all VBC concrete lintels, it is cast with a brush finish on the top face during production and must be installed with the brush-finish face facing downwards as the render face. Vincent Buda and Company has supplied structural lintels to Australian builders since 1957.

All six sizes are stocked at the Lakemba warehouse. Same-day or next-day delivery within the Sydney Metro.

Key Features at a Glance

• Wall-Bearer 170mm Profile: The deeper section handles heavier structural loads and longer spans than the standard 110mm x 80mm lintel.
• Prestressed 65 MPa Concrete: High-strength prestressed construction gives superior load capacity across spans up to 4800mm.
• Render-Ready Brush Finish: The textured top face is installed downwards, bonding directly with mortar and render for a seamless, crack-free result.
• Corrosion-Resistant All-Concrete Build: No metallic components means no corrosion risk, ideal for coastal and high-humidity environments.
