Lintel Systems

Pryda Flitch Beam Manual - Jul 2009
  • Pryda Flitch Beams comprise 2 timber beams made of commonly available timber sizes which sandwich a 6, 8 or 10mm steel flat. The 3 layers are joined together using powder actuated drive pins to make up a beam capable of longer spans than the equivalent sized timber beam. Pryda Flitch Beams are suitable for beams and lintels as they do not require the specialized packing and fixing systems associated with the use of structural steel beams.
