New product: IG Windpost Systems
Following extensive research and development IG launch a new range of windpost systems to complement existing range of steel lintels and associated products.
In creating a vibrant new residential and commercial heart in Southampton, Linden Homes turned to IG Lintels to help deliver the contemporary urban building design.
The developer required a reliable supplier with a well-organised supply chain to ensure that the service and delivery of steel lintels to the site was efficient, quick and professional.
Reinforced steel lintels from IG Lintels are a highly adaptable modern method of construction; they provide structural strength in a wide range of applications.
A mixture of 110mm cavity, 102 mm brickwork outer leaf, 118mm wide cavity and 100mm blockwork inner leaf lintels were specified to create the eclectic style of the development.
Using IG Lintels' bespoke 'Special Lintels' service, Linden Homes specified one-off Notched Lintels to be installed around columns and windposts within the French Quarter buildings, ensuring that the structural rigidity was as strong as possible.
Special Lintels from IG Lintels are designed and manufactured individually, according to the requirements of the project.
Where bespoke products would normally risk delays to lead times and impact on site progress, IG Lintels' Special Lintels can be available onsite in days, not weeks.
Combining the service excellence of IG Lintels with the MMC capabilities of the steel lintel product, which do away with specialist brickwork trades, contractors can save both time and money on the project.
"We have a longstanding relationship with Linden homes and we are continually committed to providing the highest level of service and product quality", explains Jon Roberts Technical Team Leader at IG Lintels.
