Lintel to span 5m over glass sliding doors
I'm in the final stages of designing my new house.
I just purchased a set of glass sliding doors (4.8m x 2.4m). I need a lintel to go over the opening.
The wall height is 2740mm. It's a single storey, corregated iron, trussed roof with a roof load width of 4.5m.
There is about a 250mm gap for the lintel after taking into account the top plate and reveal etc.
What would be the best option for the lintel?
A light steel beam seems like the best choice, but I'd like some other opinions please.
