Hi all,
Just want to check something.
Im building extension wall which is the standard makeup of 100mm block 100mm cavity 100mm brick.
S0 300mm in total.
so the builder has got to the point where he's made the space for one door and two windows and has bought 3 cavity lintels.
Lenght is fine, but The width of each lintel is 260mm' so 40mm less than wall width.
But the builder has insisted that it ok to use still and at the intern does not have to sit it and cover the entire width of the wall.
Is he correct.
these are lintels that will.go over the 1 door and two windows on an external wall.
Thanks
Margaret
