SupportWith the industry’s largest range and leading technical support, IG has over 50 years experience in delivering effective service and solutions.
A unique addition to our brickwork support systems are IG’s Brick Feature Lintels, where brick slips are fixed onto an IG steel lintel. This one piece unit arrives on site with the bricks, matched to your requirements, attached to the load bearing lintel. This eliminates the need for a specialist brickwork contractor spending hours onsite, cutting bricks to suit complicated structural openings.

• IG designed, manufactured and delivered six Arch BFL to Manchester Metropolitan
to fix either side of three railway bridges. • Spanning 12 metres in length and 3.5 metres in height, the six Arch BFL were manufactured
off-site by the IG team. • IG fixed brick to a 2.5mm galvanized steel box section that curved the full circumference of the arch. • Once the BFL was delivered to site it was fixed
to the bridge and standard brick coursing could continue, therefore eliminating any time-consuming brick cutting on site.
