Hey guys,
I'm currently applying for a warrant for knocking a doorway through from my integral garage into my home.
The wall makeup is: 140mm wide block work, 25mm air gap (with battens), 60mm insulation, 50mm metal studs, 12.5mm plasterboard.
The opening is 833mm wide so I'm planning on either a 1100mm or 1200mm long lintel.
However i'm struggling to find any builders merchants near me who stock lintels that are 140mm wide! (I live in Highlands of Scotland)
Is it feasible to put 2 70mm wide lintels in back to back to give me my 140mm width??
Any advice would be most appreciated.
