Hi guy's, I need to create a new doorway, it is through breeze block + cavity + breeze block, finished room on one side, bare breeze block on the other.
Wall supports the ceiling which is 6m x 5m. what would be best choice re lintels?
Also any advice on fitting them would be greatly appreciated.
I will be plasterboarding the bare room.
Overall a 12" span + plasterboard.
Haven't seen a lining kit to cover, what's my options.

Thanks in advance. Dave.

well make your own lining kit out of the correct width floor boards.
 
cut/fit the lintel first then cut the rest down.

2x 4x3 concrete lintels they need to be 4-6" longer each side of the opening

for the frame, fit a std 4" casing and plasterboard the rest

Thanks Speed, very helpful. Just priced up the lintels, they're only £5 each
£15 for the casing, can't wait for the weekend now. Cheers, Dave.
