We can supply a solution to meet the requirements of your project, ranging from a traditionally built arch to a large scale precast arch or drive-through. Browse through our Arch Selector. Non Structural Loose Arches Loose arch sets were the traditional method of arch supply and construction. They made up the majority of all arches which were supplied up until recent years and are still preferred by some heritage bodies and contractors with “traditionally skilled” bricklayers. They are supplied as individual units and are available in any length. They can be delivered quickly due to the simple nature of their manufacture. Although loose arches can be self supporting, they should be used in conjunction with steel lintels in most situations. Full fair faced soffit. Hyperlite Arch All the benefits of the Litearch but lighter still. Constructed using a high tech backing material this system also incorporates 20mm brick arch slips which are bonded to the face to finish. Pointed on the ground and used in conjunction with a standard steel cavity lintel. The Hyperlite arch can be produced in one piece to a maximum 2000 mm span and can be sectionalised to any length. Soffit size 20 – 30 mm maximum. Structural Structural Concrete Backed A fully structural one piece arch system which omits the need for steel lintels. 25mm brickslips are epoxy resin bonded to the concrete backing units or alternatively a concrete backing is cast onto the rear face of the brick arch slips forming a natural mechanical key. Both systems are produced with stainless steel bearing plates for simple installation. A fully fair faced soffit can be achieved upon request as illustrated. Available to lengths of approx 4000mm.
