Hi,
I have a solid wall 230mm mid-terraced house.
I'm going to replace an old timber floor over the cellar with beam and block.
despite looking extensively online I cannot find a guide for fitting concrete lintels. If anyone knows a useful book or online resource it would be much appreciated.
I understand timber joists can be hung using joist hangers, but I'm concerned the additional weight of a concrete floor with screed overlay will be too much weight. Should I be cutting into the brickwork and securing the lintels into the solid wall?
Thank you.
