What are padstones used for?

Concrete padstones are a crucial component in any building project that requires lintels. While lintels are used to offer load-bearing support above openings such as doors and windows, padstones are placed at the ends of each lintel beam to provide a stable base and prevent the lintel from cracking, sagging or bending. Usually made from high-strength concrete, padstones can also help the lintel in distributing the weight of the load above an opening and helping to ensure structural stability and integrity. Whether you’re after padstones for steel beams or padstones for RSJ (rolled steel joists), we’ve got something for every project at Selco.

What concrete padstones do we have available?

We’ve got various hard-wearing and durable concrete padstone sizes to suit the job at hand from top trade brand Supreme. Designed to allow the perfect distribution of weight and support the heaviest of loads, these concrete padstones have a high compressive strength and conform to building standards. These precast concrete padstones can be used in any orientation, providing the ideal load bearing for concrete lintels and steel lintels.

We even offer corner padstones that are available for special orders. If you’ve stocked up on lintels and padstones, you might want to have a look at our cavity closers and cavity trays to ensure your cavity walls are protected from water, damp and mould.
