What is a Lintel?

Sounds like soup right? Lintels or headers are in fact, a very important part of any structural building. It could be a beam or 2 angles welded together, placed across openings like doors or windows in order to support the load from the structure above.

Any opening in a building reduces the strength of the structure, therefore a concentrated load will accumulate at the doorway or window - that's why you want well-made lintels.
