LVL plus trimmer lintel query
We need to replace and raise a small window in the kitchen
As there will be a Roof Extenda bracket centered on this window and we want to make sure it is more than adequate I want to use a short length of LVL that happens to be left over from another project
Window is 600 and window opening will be 640mm
The LVL is 95 * 70 and if installed in the normal manner that only leaves 20mm of timber to nail though
Is it OK to put the lintel timber centered on the trimmer as per the sketch?
I can't find anything in the timber framing manual to answer this question
