Meet the people who turn your creative projects into life.

Shear wall adjustable structural lintel

After several years of development and testing, experts in materials at the ASL Lintech Company were finally able to obtain an international patent for the manufacturing of their revolutionary adjustable structural lintel model.

Specialized in masonry substrates and more specifically in the implementation of adjustable structural lintels of the “VIEIRA” type, our team has put all its experience and knowledge into this new lintel model that we believe to be a hit with contractors and master masons.

A shear wall, what’s it for?

A shear wall is a wall specifically designed to built to resist “horizontal nature” elements. We’re talking about the power of such nature elements like wind erosion and frost, as well a structural damage caused to your building by disasters or incidents such as explosions, floods, landslides and earthquakes.

Shear wall engineering is the phenomenon by which a material is deformed or altered by an external force. The shear wall thus acts as an internal reinforcement to help maintain your building’s structure.

Lintels in shear walls

Lintels such as those offered by the ASL Lintech team are fixed under the wall to give it stability and durability to withstand external forces and to ensure the strength and durability you’ve come to expect of your building.

Like other types of lintels, structural lintels offered by our company exist and are designed with the primary goal of strengthening a weak point in a building’s structure in mind. While they are sometimes used for cosmetic purposes, lintels can also serve a fully technical purpose; this is the case of the structural lintels referred to on this page.

As we mentioned above, structural lintels in the cases that interest us are fixed under the shear wall to reinforce the meeting point between the wall and other building surfaces, whether it be the floor, the ceiling or a perpendicular wall.

It’s therefore very likely that you’ve never seen the structural lintels fixed to the shear walls of your building. This is good news!

Structural lintels to save your time and money

In addition to their usefulness and sustainability, the adjustable structural lintels offered by AS Lintech can save you time and money.

By using the adjustable structural lintel system to build your shear wall, you’ll start to save money. Indeed, as noted earlier, this system eliminated the welding step once used by traditional lintels. This old technique, which is very costly, also created fire hazards that have disappeared with the new concept. In addition, by using the adjustable lintels for your shear wall the mason can adjust building materials later in the construction process.

With reliable and well-built structural lintels, you actually save time and money when construction your various building.
