T-Bar
T-Bar Galvanised Sydney | Steel T-Section Lintels
Galvanised T-bar is the structural lintel choice for wider masonry openings and applications where an angle section is under-specified for the span or load. The T-section profile provides a wider bearing face and greater stiffness than standard shelf angle, making it the correct product for openings where the engineer has called for a heavier lintel section. Hot-dipped galvanised for long-term corrosion resistance in cavity wall and external masonry applications across Sydney.
When to Use T-Bar Over Angle
For standard brick veneer window and door openings, angle lintels are typically sufficient. T-bar is specified where the opening width increases, where the masonry load above is greater, or where the structural engineer has called for a heavier lintel section. The T-profile also suits applications where a continuous, visible lintel line is part of the building detail.
For angle lintels in standard brick veneer applications, see our Ingal Angle range. For rendered masonry applications, see our Ingal Rendabar. For flat bar applications in fabrication and bracing, see our Flat Bar Galvanised range.
Wider masonry openings need more than just the right lintel, and wall ties and structural bracing straps keep the surrounding masonry properly connected to the frame. For applications where a flat section is specified instead of a T-section, steel flat sections for fabrication are stocked in a range of widths and thicknesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is galvanised T-bar used for in construction?
Galvanised T-bar is used as a lintel to span openings in masonry construction, supporting the brickwork or blockwork above door and window openings. The T-section profile provides a wider bearing face and greater stiffness than angle lintels for wider or more heavily loaded openings.
When is T-bar specified instead of angle lintel?
T-bar is typically specified for wider openings, heavier masonry loads, or where the engineer requires a stronger lintel section than a standard angle can provide. For standard residential openings in brick veneer, angle lintels are often sufficient.
Is galvanised T-bar suitable for external masonry?
Yes. Hot-dipped galvanised T-bar is rated for cavity wall and external masonry applications. The galvanised coating provides long-term corrosion resistance in normal external conditions.
What sizes does galvanised T-bar come in?
We stock galvanised T-bar in standard sizes to suit residential and commercial masonry openings. Contact us on 1300 554 775 or check the product listing for current size and length availability.
Can T-bar be cut to length on site?
Yes. Galvanised T-bar can be cut to length on site using an angle grinder or metal cutting saw. Cutting exposes raw steel at the cut face. For applications in exposed or cavity wall positions, treat cut ends with a cold galvanising compound to maintain corrosion resistance.
