I'm going to be cutting through a 100mm blockwork wall to install a new doorway, the wall is only supporting joists above. I see that wickes for example do a 1.2m Lintel in either concrete or a metal "internal" lintel for about the same price. The concrete version is 100m which fits in with the depth of the blockwork, the metal one doesn't have its depth listed.
I'm tending towards the concrete version but wonder what the advantages of the metal one are, I guess it's basically that you have to cut out less material in order to install and it's also lighter so easier to handle? Anything else?
Thanks
