Non Structural Arches
Hyperlite Arch
All the benefits of the Litearch but lighter still. Constructed using a high tech backing material, this system also incorporates 20mm brick arch slips which are bonded to the face to finish. Pointed on the ground and used in conjunction with a standard steel cavity lintel. Capable of spanning up to 2000mm, the Hyperlite Arch can also be sectionalised to fit longer spans. It offers a 20-30mm soffit, ideal for a sleek, lightweight solution.
Loose arches are also available.
Structural Arches
Structural Concrete Backed
A fully structural one piece arch system which omits the need for steel lintels. 25mm brick slips are epoxy resin bonded to the concrete backing units or alternatively a concrete backing is cast onto the rear face of the brick arch slips forming a natural mechanical key. Both systems are produced with stainless steel bearing plates for simple installation. A fully fair faced soffit can be achieved upon request as illustrated.
Stainless Steelback
Fully structural, and with all the advantages of the Concrete Backed system, the Stainless Steelback has the added benefit of less weight and increased span capabilities. Available with 102mm fair faced soffit (upon request).
Note: The inner skin blockwork would require independent support.
Stainless Steelback Cavity
The premier, do it all arch in the Ibstock Kevington range, the Stainless Steel cavity arch provides the support for the inner and outer skins. It includes the unique Lintray system which guides any cavity moisture away from the face. These lintels are insulated to British Standard. Commonly used for fine Flat gauged arch construction with pre-pointed joints. Available with 102mm fair faced soffit (upon request).
