Cast Stone

[icon] - Question

I am using Cast Stone Decorative Heads, how can these be supported?

[icon] - Answer

If the Decorative Head is one piece then a relieving lintel (catnic) placed over the head is preferred with a soft joint between the Head and steel lintel. If the Head is in two or more parts then it is best to have a supporting lintel on which the units can sit.
