Lintel block or beam block is used for the purpose of provision of
beam or lintel beam. Lintel beam is generally provided on the top
portion of doors and windows, which bears the load coming from
top. Concrete lintel blocks have deep groove along the length of
block as shown in figure. After placing the blocks, this groove is
filled with concrete along with reinforcement.

hold mortar and to develop the strong bond with top laying block.
