Project & Requirements

The Milthorp Apartments development required the conversion of a mill originally built in 1927 into nine luxury apartments.  Situated on the banks of the River Wharfe with views over the open countryside, the developers wanted a high spec finish for the outside as well as the inside of the building, and to emphasise the design features of the original mill building.

The Solution

The contractors used Naylor Concrete’s range of fair-faced lintels on the external façade of the building, creating a striking visual effect which emphasized the original building’s structure.

Designed for use in exposed situations where higher load capacities are required, Naylor Concrete’s fair-faced lintel range are typically used in exposed situations where there is no need for surface finishes.

For superior aesthetics, Naylor Fair Faced lintels have a Type C Fair Faced finish and are manufactured in moulds to ensure uniformity of colour and surface finish. They are available in 14 different section sizes and in widths of 100mm, 140mm, 190mm and 215mm with lengths ranging from 900mm to 4800mm dependent upon section size.

Naylor Concrete’s fair-faced lintels are prestressed to ensure optimum load carrying performance and are easy to cut-to-size and install.

Our fair-faced lintels deliver the following benefits:

• Superior aesthetics with a Type C Fair Faced finish
• Designed for exposed situations where high load capacities are required
• Are pre-stressed to ensure optimum load carrying performance
• Can be cut to length with negatively effecting product performance
• 30-minute fire rating
