How Galintel R4 lintels met the coastal construction challenge at Bermagui home

Coastal construction comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it concerns material durability. In Bermagui, NSW, a new beachfront property required robust solutions to handle the corrosive effects of the ocean’s proximity. Here’s how Galintel’s R4 lintels made all the difference.

The challenge: Building in a C4 corrosion zone

Located less than 1km from breaking surf, this project demanded materials with enhanced corrosion resistance.

While stainless steel was initially specified by the engineers, it quickly became clear that sourcing it was both difficult and expensive.

The solution: Galintel R4 products

The builder turned to Galintel’s R4 solid base angles and traditional T bars, along with specially fabricated components coated in R4 paint.

These products provided:

• Reliable performance in harsh environments.
• Significant cost savings compared to stainless steel.
• Ease of installation, matching the methods used for standard R3 lintels.

Collaboration for success

This project was a true team effort involving Sapphire Hardware Mitre 10, Manor Building Services, and Galintel.

By offering locally made products with robust warranties and technical support, we ensured the project met the strict demands of coastal construction.

Australian-made excellence

Galintel’s commitment to quality and local manufacturing ensures that builders across Australia have access to the products they need, when they need them, without compromise.

Whether you’re building on the coast or inland, Galintel offers solutions you can trust.
