Hi,
I'd like to install a window in the gable end wall of our attic see below:
It only single leaf brick work at this level.
Which lintel type should I go for steel or concrete?
Would one of these cut to size do the job:

or should I go for this:

I'm slightly concerned that the concrete lintel will be visible from the outside. Also how should I go about removing mortar/brickwork in preparation for the lintel whilst reducing the vibration to the wall as I don't want it to collapse!
Thanks,
yoocan
