Lintel
size
: up to 180x43x24cm
A
plan to make the mould to cast an entire lintel of reconstituted stone,
or to change a common brick or concrete pre-lintel in a true limestone
lintel. With 2 or 4 separators placed in the mould, it is possible to
make a arch-stone lintel composed on 3 or 5 separated blocks, with a
key stone in the centre.
In case of pre-lintel cladding, the stone blocks could be formed by cuting the cladding with a disc-saw, to simulate an arch-stone lintel. Use for doors and windows surroundings up to 140cm opening (or more). Mould cost : less than 35€ Cost of stone for a
180x40x24cm monolithic lintel : less
than 25€
