Q » What is a lintel and how does it function in masonry walls?
08 Dec, 2025
A » A lintel is a horizontal structural element that spans an opening in a masonry wall, such as a window or door. It functions by distributing the load from the wall above to the supporting structures on either side of the opening, preventing the wall from collapsing. Lintels can be made of wood, stone, steel, or reinforced concrete, and are essential for maintaining the integrity and stability of masonry constructions.
