What lintel do i need?
I’m going to have a go and knock a doorway through from dining room to my garage. It’s a load bearing wall, I assume brick under the plaster, and it’s breeze block in the garage. What lintel will I need? X2 pre stressed concrete lintels? I can’t find the answer anywhere. Thank!

是的具体门楣将是完美的。确保哟u use Akro props (most likely you will need to use them with strongboys as well)

hi if its a load bearing wall i would suggest a steel 152x152mm with pad stones laid flat across either side, inner and outer skin.
i hope this helps

Hi ,You should really have a structural report to specify the type of lintel that is needed but i would suggest a steel beam or a 6x4 concrete lintel making sure that it is long enough to have 150mm minimum rest each side. x2 for double skin.
