Faced brick lintel

The lintel is a construction element arranged horizontally and supported at both ends, which is used to bear a load gravitating on an opening executed on the enclosure wall. It may be executed using edged faced bricks, which touch on their biggest side, that is, their flat part. In a lintel, brick on its own does not have structural capacity, and a resistant element must be used too; for example, poles, a mesh arranged in consecutive courses, a metallic flange plate, etc.
