When a builder points to a structural beam above a window, what is he indicating?

  1. Sash

  2. Casing

  3. Lintel

  4. Jamb

  5. Rail

  6. Stile

The correct answer is: Lintel

When a builder points to a structural beam above a window, he is indicating the lintel. A lintel is a horizontal support member, typically made of steel, wood, or stone, that spans an opening such as a window or door to support the weight of the structure above it. Lintels are essential for distributing the load and preventing the opening from sagging or collapsing over time. The other options listed are components of a window or door frame but are not the correct answer in this context: - Sash refers to the movable part of a window that holds the glass. - Casing is the trim around a window or door to cover the rough opening between the wall and frame. - Jamb is the vertical part of a window or door frame where the sash or door is hinged. - Rail is the horizontal part of a door frame in a panel door. - Stile is the vertical part of a door frame in a panel door.
