Attention special question.

Hi, we are getting horizontal window lintels (opposite of grenadier lintels). Does anyone know which method besides precast lintels is also good? My contractor wants to use galvanized angle irons. You keep hearing that lintels become cracked. Thanks to you

You ask in the headline about "professional," and in my opinion, it is not; apart from the fact that - as your picture shows - the windows then look as if they have been cut out of the facade with a carpet knife. Under the "lintel" and then repeated every how many layers, each time with console anchors, of course?

Galvanized angle irons are definitely not professional. They must be stainless steel.

Why should horizontal not be proper? Unfortunately, we also have that - because the neighbors absolutely didn’t want vertical ones. Well - now you can just see a metal strip (don’t ask me about the material, no idea but it must be something decent).

At least with you, thanks to the roller shutter boxes, it doesn’t look so strange.


Because with "vertical" you can "reinforce" the bricks like sausages hung on a rod and hook them into anchors. With "horizontal," you need the angles not only directly under the lintel but repeated at intervals every few layers to better distribute the load. Otherwise, you can study which "hammocks" you are building up on ground fault lines.
