Precast concrete moulds · Beam and lintel moulds

Beam and lintel moulds where the finish is on show.

Tooling for architectural beams, lintels, window heads and transfer elements with visible faces. Profiled soffits, chamfers and drip details cast in cleanly.

Overview

Beam and lintel moulds, in plain terms.

Steel beam mould fitted with elastomer liners and edge strips
Elastomer inserts added to a standard beam mould

Structural beams are usually cast in steel moulds. But when the beam is visible — an exposed lintel, a decorative head, a feature beam in a public building — the face and edges become architectural.

We supply elastomer inserts, soffit liners and profiled edge strips that fit into standard beam moulds and give you the finish without rebuilding the steel.

What sets it apart

Four things that define this route.

01

Exposed lintels

Textured or stone-look faces on lintels in masonry elevations.

02

Window heads

Moulded heads with drips, keystones and returns.

03

Feature beams

Board-mark or textured faces on beams in exposed structures.

04

Soffit profiles

Chamfers, drips and throatings formed in one pour.

How we build it

From pattern to released tool.

We take the beam cross-section and the steel mould details, and design inserts that locate positively and survive vibration.

Drips and throatings are formed as elastomer strips so they release without spalling the arris.

The honest bit

What to know before you commit.

Structural design stays with your engineer. We shape the concrete surface; we don't design the reinforcement or the section.
