Hi.
I had dormers installed over year and half ago. The windows on the middle floor beneath the new floor are 2 metres wide.
3 to 4 joist of the new floor are sat on wall plate which is above window lintels.
The load is only on the inner leaf however the wooden lintels are solid and cover both leafs.
Is a bit of a faff getting removing and getting concrete lintels in now.
I have thought of another method which is to use a Single leaf catnic lintel only on internal side with the wooden lintel in place.
World this work? It has a swl of 10kn which seems equivalent to concrete lintels.
The wooden lintels are in good order with little difflection but with new floor Im not sure
