Arnold9801 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 For our new build which is a concrete block dorma bungalow construction it's time to decide on lintels. Do I go 6 inch or 9 inch concrete lintels (reinforced with two rods) or do I go with Catnic metal ones or similar from IG Lintels? I think I'm doing right by eliminating the 6 inch concrete lintels just for peace of mind. Out of my two remaining options of 9 inch concrete or metal, could anyone offer me their advice please? I've had quotes and the 9 inch concrete and catnic are virtually the same. Your advice would be appreciated! Arnold9801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Catnics are insulated So for a double skin wall your better with catnic Though I would go with a steel with a hit and miss plate for anything over 2mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
