I am making a new opening for a window and will need a hidden lintel on the internal wall. the opening is 630mm wide ad so i wondered what depth lintel i needed?
Thats an IG one.. lets see.. ah here:on the drawing i have L1/s 100 lintel written. Not sure what this is ?
is it a catnic?
Personally not a great fan of soldier course lintels, so would recommend a catnic that supports the whole wall..i thought concrete too.
it will be on the inside course, so hidden. the outside has a brick solider lintel formed.
what size concrete do i need then in depth?

But you can put a simple concrete lintel on the inner leaf, depending on the amount of floor loading the lintel.. but if there isnt more than about 5m of floor above then a simple 65-70mm deep precast lintel should be fine..
If theres a bath or any point loads over the lintel might wanna beaf that up a little..
