Lintel Needed Above Glass Block?
In the last 2 days, I've inspected 2 houses in which glass block windows are installed in brick veneer walls. Lintels were not installed above any of the windows.
I have not had time to search to determine if glass block is rated to support loads imposed by brick veneer installed above. I usually see lintels in this type of installation, and was wondering if they are in fact required. Any input would be appreciated.
