    So, Let's start from the beginning - What is a Lintel?

    The Lintel, is commonly Used above Doors Windows and any load-bearing opening used in Buildings.

    The Lintel spans the Opening and distributes loads above the walls or masonry on either side of the Opening.

    The Use of Lintels in Construction is an ancient process. 

    The Post and Lintel System built many ancient historic sites around the world.
