Hi.
I would like to fit a floating oak beam above my AGA on the chimney breast. The beam is 10cm thick and 130cm long and is quite heavy. I intend to place rods into the wall and set with epoxy and then the beam will slide onto the rods.
However, I will need to drill the holes to fit the rods into the concrete lintel.
Will the concrete lintel cope with the drilling and hanging of the oak beam?
Thanks!!
