I have knocked down a dividing wall in my bathroom so left with two door ways.
I have started to remove one ready to be studded up.
The doorways had a steel lintel above the pair of them, which had about 1/2" skim of cement below it before the headpiece of the door frame.
I guess that this was just for packing/levelling to allow the headpiece/door frame to sit correct, but as I am studding it up, should I still have a skim of cement between lintel and headpiece, or should I wedge the headpiece up against the lintel with nothing between them?
