Catnic style lintel opening size 1500mm. You cannot have point loads on them, but I will effectively have a single celcon block (440 wide), then an engineering brick padstone, then the load (end of a purlin), so would this spread the load enough? Else I could put a concrete lintel instead of the eng brick to spread the load a bit more, say over 2 blocks. Of course this is thermal bridging so a balance must be struck ! Cheers, Simon.
