Firstly,
Ludermor,
Did you read my mail, If so please read it again.
I was looking for input on this by someone who has been here in the past.
You input is of no use to me, I already know this, Please refrain from posting useless, condesending information.
To galwaytt, Carpenter and sydthebeat thank you for your useful input.
Carpenter,
I got a quote for steel lintels from Steelite in Kildare, It consisted of the following:
1. A 2.8 M steelite lintel with insulation in the middle
2. 2 x 3.1 M lintel,
3. a 4M Lintel
4. A 4.5 x 4.5 m lintel with 2 posts (this is a corner lintel).
All of these cost 4,700 Euro inc Vat.
I was going to use RSJ's as per galwaytt, however i am in an exposed area ans was advised with the abount of packing (with marine ply etc etc ) that the best job would be the Catnic type lintels.
I may consider pouring these however i will need a new spec on the rebar etc to be used. Do they use links in poured lintels or just lengths of rebar.
All input appreciated,
Regards
