Lintel above a round window

AndyJames · 12 Aug 2010

I need to fit a round window (approx 3ft diameter) in a bathroom on exterior wall, the exterior of the house is brick.

The existing window space will be partly used but some form of lintel will be needed where we break out more wall.

Has anyone any ideas? do curved lintels exist? if traditional lintels are used how do you secure the bricks filling the corners between window and lintel. Ideas please...

Thanks

They exist over here, no idea about Spain though http://www.catnic.com/bulls_eye.aspx

Brick/stone Arches are self supporting anyway if built right though. http://www.diyinfo.org/wiki/How_To_Build_A_Brick_Arch,_Ringed-Curved_Style

Probably get more/better response in the Building Section tbh
