Description
Description

A lintel CMU block is a concrete masonry unit that is used to support the weight of a wall above an opening, such as a door or window. Lintel blocks are typically U-shaped, with a hollow bottom that allows for the placement of reinforcing bars and grout. They are laid with their open side facing up, and they are typically held in place with mortar. Lintel CMU blocks are an important part of any construction project that involves openings in walls. They help to support the weight of the wall above and prevent it from collapsing.
