Galintel Rendabars are a total load bearing bar specifically designed for supporting
brickwork above doors and windows and to facilitate cement rendering. The render
adheres to the lintel because ofthe perforations in the lower leg, the part
of the lintel that is exposed.
The bonding of mortar to the brickwork and vertical leg of the lintel forms
a composite beam of superior strength and structural adequacy.
FULLY HOT DIP GALVANISED
All Galintel Rendabars are fully hot dipped galvanised to ensure that all
surfaces are fully protected. Brickwork cracking caused by rust displacement
is virtually eliminated.
WIDER BASE SUPPORT
The width of the platform leg of each Rendabar provides a wide base of support
for brickwork, and a generous keying area for cement rendering.
COST EFFECTIVE AND LIGHTWEIGHT
Distinct advantages are derived from availability, low handling costs, and
the elimination of priming, painting, and wire wrapping. Galintel Rendabars
are considerably lighter than other forms of lintels, substantially contributing
to ease of handling, speeds construction and reduces potential damage to green
masonry during placement.
STRUCTURAL RIGIDITY AND BONDING
Mortar bonding with the Multi Ribbed Section locks the Rendabar firmly to
the masonry by forming a composite beam thus ensuring superior lateral bracing
and rigidity.
COMPLIANCE WITH AUSTRALIAN BUILDING CODES
Galintel Rendabars have been extensively tested by Unisearch Limited, the
research and development company of the University of New South Wales, for
strength, structural adequacy, and to ensure compliance with all relevant
Australian Building Codes. CSIRO Building Products & Systems Appraisal
(Technical Assessment 205).
The steel used conforms to the requirements of AS 3679-300, with a minimum
ultimate strength of 410 MPa and yield strength of 280 MPa.
