Uses of Concrete Padstones and Lintels
Lintels and padstones are essential components in construction, and at Armstrong Cheshire, we leverage these critical elements to create strong and visually appealing structures. Our concrete padstones and lintel products are designed to bear significant loads and effectively distribute weight throughout your building project. While they serve different purposes and are installed in various locations, their combined strength is unbeatable.
Concrete Padstones:
- Concrete Padstones are vital in our construction process, especially for supporting beam ends. Their primary purpose is to evenly transfer concentrated loads from the beam to a wider area of the masonry below.
Concrete Lintels:
- Prestressed Concrete lintels are widely used in construction for their exceptional strength, durability, and flexibility. They enhance structural integrity and load-bearing performance, making them ideal for larger openings and heavier loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Precast Concrete padstones must be positioned correctly on the masonry wall to adequately support the loading from the steel beam or other lintel. If the lintel of the beam is not aligned properly with the padstone, the load distribution might be uneven.
When a steel beam is held up by masonry, a padstone may be necessary to distribute the weight over a broader area to avoid overstressing.
Lintels are horizontal components that are specifically placed above openings such as doors and windows to bear the masonry loads that occur over these openings and direct them to the adjacent walls. The main distinctions are that beams are longer structural elements, whereas lintels are shorter and only span above the openings.
