Hello.
I'm building an extension with fair faced brickwork. The windows are set back 3.5" from the external face. A catnic type steel lintel supports brick soldiers on the outside skin.
My problem is how to make the underneath of the catnic look ok. I could paint it white (same as the window), but its going to look a bit naff. Someone suggested fixing gauze to it an rendering but this seems fiddly and prone to failure. Has anyone any experience of other ways to make the underneath of steel lintels look acceptable?
Thanks.
