The Birtley CB150 Cavity Wall Steel Lintel is a heavy-duty structural lintel designed to provide reliable load-bearing support over door and window openings in wide cavity wall construction. Manufactured by Birtley, a leading UK specialist in steel lintels, the CB150 is engineered for applications where greater cavity widths and higher structural loads are present.
Designed to suit 100 mm inner leaf and 100 mm outer leaf masonry with an extended cavity, the CB150 ensures efficient load distribution across both leaves of the wall. Its galvanised steel construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in external wall applications. The CB150 is commonly specified for larger openings in new-build housing, extensions and light commercial developments where enhanced structural performance is required.
