Bricklaying & Repointing

Is it classed as a lintel above my window

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.49 PM

The stone section that stretches ABOVE my lounge window of my terrace are called what ? I know the lower half is a lintel but what about the top part. The same name ? These stretch across the whole row of terraces on my street. Mine needs painting.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Yeah, stone heads they are! You see a lot of reconstituted stone heads nowadays (the artificial stuff).

Yes, that is called a Lintel. This can be made from, wood, steel, stone or concrete. This is necessary, used to support the property above the window.
