Q » What is a lintel and how does it support structural openings?
08 Dec, 2025
A » A lintel is a horizontal structural element placed above openings such as windows and doors, providing support to the weight of the structure above. Constructed from materials like wood, concrete, or steel, lintels distribute loads to the surrounding walls, preventing collapse and maintaining structural integrity. Essential in architecture, lintels ensure the stability and safety of buildings by bridging and reinforcing openings in walls.
