Naylor Lintels

[Nitell]

Hi

I need to get a Lintel. It is recommended I use R6 Lintel.

Those Lintels are 100 X 145mm.

But the wall is 2 leaves of 100mm, making it 215mm wide.

I am wondering, how will the bricklayer be able to put 2 X 100mm concrete blocks on top of the Lintel?

This is not my field of work, so I have no idea.

Please let me know. Thank you.

The lintels are 100mm wide and 145mm tall.
So the bricklayer just puts two 100 x 145 lintels side-by-side.

Who recommended that you use two single leaf lintels on a double wall?

You should use a single lintel.

You should use a single lintel.

Why should it be a problem?

Supports should be load sharing

Don't tell me: one of the 'bolt-your-beams-together' brigade?

One of the do it properly brigade

Many thanks to you all.

I will have to speak to the building engineer.
