I hope someone can advise, I want to widen a window to about 2.7 metres and put in folding doors. But there is already an RSJ in the ceiling ending at rightangles to the middle of the proposed opening. Would a lintel on the inner leaf support this or would it need a new rsj joining at rightangles to the existing one?
There would be a foot or two of wall above the new opening below the existing RSJ. I would hope to avoid taking out the existing rsj if possible as its holding up an internal wall above. Maybe a steel pillar to the rsj dividing the new doorway would make the job easier
