Hi we're building a single storey extension. We ideally want to put a steel across 2 walls of different thickness. one is the old part of the house 25 cm thick, other is a new extension 30 cm thick. SE says this is tricky due to the different width of walls. I've sent him the idea in the picture below which I think could work. The steel which needs to be stronger than standard lintel because it would be the lintel over a doorway and also has another steel perpendicular to it sitting on top. I am wondering whether steel spreader plates would work just as good as padstones. Does this look viable? Thanks
