Lintel – 20cm Thickness

187.63309.31

How to choose your lintel

It is imperative to always provide a minimum bearing length of 20cm on either side of the window for openings up to 2m. For openings over 2m, a 30cm support is required on each side. For walls that are 30cm thick you can use a U block to create two concrete beams of 60cm in length each and thus reduce the length of support to 15cm on each side of the bay.

The choice of lintel is therefore as follows: opening to be covered + (2 x 20cm or 30cm) = minimum length of the lintel.
