Barney12 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hi All Quick sense check. I'm just sorting materials for the blockwork and I've got Catnic CTF5 Lintels listed in my pad. Overkill? Seems a good solution but then so would a concrete lintel with some DPC to create the fall away from the skin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogman Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 won't a concrete lintel show. i have the above but not catnic, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I thought that the catnics stopped the twisting of the blockwork over the opening ..?? Check Connells for pricing on lintels - mine were 25% cheaper than the best the merchants could do and that was for non standard ones. Just get them early as their delivery system can be a bit random ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney12 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks guys. I'm going to go with the Catnics (or equivalent) @PeterW does Steve like soft (building) sand for his mortar mixes? Or does he like to add sharp to the mix? Cant ask him as he's on his Lilo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised at how few trades we had onsite who actually took builders' tea! Probably less than half - most seem to have moved on to tea with no sugar, and a few drank coffee.
