tvrulesme Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I am looking to install a small (500mm wide x 700mm high) window in an existing garage wall. The wall is a solid wall mix of brick and block (left hand side in this picture) As the wall is appox 215mm thick I was thinking of installing 2 x pre-stressed reinforced concrete lintel 900mm x 100mm side by side before cutting the 500mm wide opening for the window itself. The building is single story and has a lightweight roof covered in felt. Does this sound sufficient or overkill? Should I just put a single lintel facing the outside and fill the inside with brickwork? Same wall from the outside showing the position of the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 A couple of lintels are overkill loading wise but as they cost very little and are convenient they are the way to go 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
