Slab Rib / Lintel
T-shaped design for strength over long spans. Propless on short spans under our supervision only.
3d Slab Installation GuideThis lintel is designed for high performance, intended to withstand stressful loads which most other lintels cannot handle. ( View our Typical Slab Layout ) Click here
This has been tested and certified for strength, precision, and efficiency. ( See the UJ University test report ) Click here
Props are moved further back under our engineer’s supervision, resulting in fewer props which significantly reduces installation time and costs. ( Interested in more of our Technical documents? ) Click here to view more
A further 5% concrete saving is achieved as a result of the unique T-Shape spans over 5m are straight and perpendicular for hassle-free propping.
Width 150mm
height 60mm
Wire Strands 5/7/8 or 10

Polystyrene Block
The Polystyrene Blocks replaces the concrete block as a void filler resulting in many advantages, such as:- – Lightweight for faster and easier installation.
- – Semi propless for easier and quicker installation.
- – Lightweight for less loads on the structure walls and foundations.
- – Sound and thermal insulation properties add to the environmental benefits.
- – Reduced Delivery costs for long distance hauls.

Ref.100 Mesh
Anti-crack weldmesh supplied as part of the package or as required.
The anti-crack weld mesh provides durability to the structure by minimising surface cracks when exposed to the elements.
Y10 or Y12 Rebar
Stiffener steel supplied as part of the package or as required.
Ribs are propped at regular 1.5m intervals and under every block.
Reinforcing bars are inserted above to form stiffener rib when enhances slab stability.

Polystyrene Slab Benefits
- Sound Insulation – noise reduction
- Heat Insulation – keeping rooms cool in summer and warm in winter
- Fast Installation – Polystyrene blocks are light and less labour intensive due to this fact
- Lightweight and Economical – Easy and cheaper transport
- Light on Walls and Foundations – 35% (60kg) lighter per m2 than normal rib and block slabs
- Versatility and flexability in design
- Spans up to 8m are easily achieved
- Less props required: Semi Propless up to 2m under our supervision
- Quick and easy installation for multi storey buildings
- Less load on the foundations and load bearing walls (up to 130Kg lighter per m2)
- Ceiling boards beneath the soffit required instead of plastering the soffit
- Factory produced – offering the highest quality crisp white polystyrene
- Our polystyrene is made with fire resistant material. This is manufactured by our sister company
- T Lintels are machine extruded and not made in moulds like our competitors’ products. Therefore the underside of our Lintel is rough, which serves as a good plaster adhesive surface.
- 40MPA concrete ribs is our standard as opposed to the 25MPA industry standards
- All trays are made from quality aggregates with minimum breakages
- Our polystyrene blocks are higher, resulting in less concrete consumed when compared to competitors.
