A mounting frame for mounting a closure within an aperture in a building. The mounting frame comprises a main frame structure and insulation. The main frame structure is arranged, in use, to extend around a perimeter of the building aperture. The insulation is on the outside of the main frame structure and extends about the whole or at least part of its periphery. The main frame structure is formed in two parts each terminating with an outwardly extending support flange. The insulation couples together the support flanges and thereby coupling together the two parts of the main frame structure. The support flanges and the insulation are configured such that, in use, the insulation and the support flanges are positioned between interior and exterior wall skins of a wall surrounding the building aperture. There is also disclosed a construction method using the mounting frame.

A method of constructing a portion of a building includes building a wall using bricks or panels 12 and locating a lintel 20 on top of the wall. The lintel 20 is formed from an elongate sheet of meta

A method of constructing a portion of a building including a wall and a floor attached to the wall is disclosed. First a wall is built using bricks or panels and a lintel is located on top of the wall. The lintel formed from an elongate sheet of metal bent with at least three or four bends parallel to a long edge of the sheet thereby forming four or five faces. These include a first face which is orthogonal to a first vertical surface of the wall and a second face for engaging an upper portion of the first vertical surface. There is also a third face for engaging an upper surface of the wall and a fourth face for engaging an upper portion of a second vertical surface of the wall. The fifth face, if present, fifth face extends from a lower edge of the fourth face and is orthogonal to the second vertical surface of the wall. Once in place, the lintel is fixed to the wall and floor joists are fixed on the first (and fifth) face.

A system for traversing an opening of a construction element the system including a elongated housing with two extendable elements configured to reside at least partially within the housing. The extendable elements may extend beyond the housing and may include flanges or ledges which may engage the ends of a construction element, which may be a wall, and thus allow the system to traverse the opening of a construction element, such as a window or door. A coupler may be utilized to connect to a more than one elongated housing element to provide for traversal across even larger openings. The system may allow a user to easily manipulate the system to fit a plurality of openings and reuse the system a countless number of times.

A closure mounting structure comprising a mounting frame and a lintel. The mounting frame is for mounting a closure frame of a closure within an aperture in a building. The mounting frame comprises a main frame structure arranged, in use, to extend around a perimeter of the building aperture. The lintel is attached or attachable to a portion of the mounting frame that in use is located at an upper portion of the building aperture such that when attached to the mounting frame the lintel extends beyond the mounting frame on first and second sides of the mounting frame in a plane defined by the main frame structure. The main frame structure may be open on one side and closed by the lintel. The lintel is configured to support a portion of the building above the building aperture. The mounting frame further comprises a mounting flange extending around the main frame structure and defining a sealing surface adapted to abut a building surface outside of the building aperture for locating and sealing the mounting frame in the building aperture. Corresponding methods of use are disclosed.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a beam (1) in the form of a truss (2) assembled to a sheath (10) filled with an insulating material (7), which truss is formed of an upper bar (3) and two lower bars (4, 5) connected by a reinforcement (6), said lower bars being inserted into a recess (11) in the sheath having an insertion opening (110), the spacing (L) between said lower bars at rest being greater than the width (D) of said opening, the insertion of the two lower bars being carried out by the steps of: - positioning the truss opposite the opening, - temporarily deforming the truss so as to bring the lower bars closer together until their spacing becomes less than the width of the opening, - translating the truss thus deformed towards the opening to insert the lower bars into the recess. Figure to be published with the abbreviation: Fig. 1

A lintel comprising first and second elongate metal load bearing members 10, 12 that extend in parallel, where the first may be taller and their upper edges may be bent to lie partially over the therm

Profile element (1) for producing a lintel, a wall recess or a beam in a building (4), wherein the profile element (1) has a longitudinal extension in a longitudinal direction of the profile element (1) which is a multiple of a transverse extension of the profile element (1) directed perpendicular to the longitudinal extension, characterized in that the profile element (1) has two or more than two hollow chambers (8, 10, 17, 19) extending in a hollow chamber direction, which are each completely surrounded by profile element webs (6) of the profile element (1) in a hollow chamber transverse plane of the profile element (1) oriented perpendicular to the hollow chamber direction.

The invention relates to a connecting element (13) for connecting a ceiling slab (10) having at least one cavity (11) to a lintel. In order to simplify and reduce the cost of connecting the ceiling slab (10) to the cast-in-place concrete lintel and to largely avoid environmental pollution, the connecting element (13) according to the invention is characterized by an outer diameter matched to the at least one cavity (11). The invention further relates to a system for a room ceiling having such a connecting element (13) and to a method for connecting a ceiling slab (10) to a lintel.
