I am building over a flat roof garage which has a cavity wall except for the front. Wall to be brick outer and block inner. I need to put a cavity lintel over the front and this will be 3450mm long. There is a choice of standard or heavy duty.
Which one do I need? The HD one is £200+ dearer than the standard. It's no good asking the manufacturer as they just say have a structural eng. decide. So can anyone tell me a typical application for each grade of lintel?
Thanks
