Standards Cements are quality assured with independent third party certification and carry a CE Mark. Installation Guide
Trial mixes are recommended to determine the optimum mix proportions. The cement content must be correct and the water: cement ratio as low as possible consistent with satisfactory placing, thorough compaction and effective curing.

Standards BS EN 771-3 which covers the BS requirements of all types of concrete block (and brick) units Installation Guide
Careful selection of mortar is essential. Extensive guidance is given in the BS 5628 suite of masonry design standards. The location of the block work is an important consideration, and as a guide stronger mortars will be required in high exposure situations. Similarly the design of walls employing high strength blocks, typically 10N/mm or greater, will result in enhanced load bearing capacity when designation (ii) or (i) mortar mixes are used. However, for the construction of most internal walls in inner leaves of cavity walls above ground, it is common practice to specify mortars no stronger than 1:1:6 cement, lime, sand composition or similar designation (iii) mix or general purpose to BS 5628-3. All types of aggregate block are suitable for use to the inner leaf of external cavity walls, or internal walls below ground. For the external leaf of external cavity walls, or solid external walls, dense, lightweight 7/mm2 blocks or aggregate block with a density of at least 1500kg/m3 are all suitable. Where unusual ground conditions exist, or for more information contact your local JDP branch.

Features & Benefits

Lintels
JDP offer a range of Prestressed and high strength lintels. The Prestressed lintel is one of the most specified lintel ranges in the country. The method of manufacture gives a high performance pre-stressed concrete unit designed to be used in plastered situations. This range can also be used as ground beams being able to be used directly off pad foundations saving you time and money. If used in conjunction with our steel lintel can comply with part E: 2002 and Part L: 2002 to solve thermal bridging and acoustic problems.

Features & Benefits Chemical resistance Fire resistance Wide range for a variety of applications Variety of finishes Lintels have low water absorption and as a result of the quality controlled Hi-Spec dense concrete mix used in their manufacture, they can therefore be used underground provided that the ends of the lintels have a minimum 45mm cover of mortar to the ends of the reinforcing strands. Applications Building support beams Service lintels

Standards The design of prestressed concrete lintels complies with BS8110 part 1:1997: section 4 Lintels are manufactured in accordance with BS5977: part 2:1983 Materials used in the manufacture of prestressed lintels comply with BS12 and BS882 The prestressing strand/wire complies with BS5896 Installation Guide
Lintels should be carefully bedded on a full mortar joint. Wall ties should be positioned in accordance with current building regulations. A damp proof course should be used for all lintels in external walls, and must be fixed in accordance with building regulations. In cavity construction, it is recommended that both internal and external leaves be taken up uniformly. For spans in excess of 1200mm, it is good practice to provide temporary support (at 1200mm centres). If lintels are supporting concrete floor load, a minimum lintel depth of 140mm is recommended to allow for impact loads during the actual placing of concrete flooring. Cutting Concrete lintels may be cut using a high-speed disc cutter. Use of this should be by a properly trained operative taking due regard of current Health and Safety regulations.
