			<![CDATA[My garage is 4200mm wide. Door will be set back behind the opening. I wanted to finish the underside  of the lintel in render to match the reveals. I suppose im going to have to use a steel lintel due to span, but cant work out best method to apply render to underside. Any ideas?<br />Garage is 100mm block/100mm cavity/100mm block.<br />Other half wants downlighters above door as well...i cant see how i can do it with lintel in place.<br />Thanks]]>

			<![CDATA[You can obtain lengths of UPVC in a wide variety of widths, use adhesive to fix, could also fix a strip of LED`s across the width of the door trimmed either side by the UPVC. Very neat, trendy & no painting !]]>
