Jumpers in the aerated concrete house. Important criteria for the selection.

Choosing the best option - it is always a tricky business, especially in a large variety.

During the construction of his house, I have not had time to deal with this. And here's another choice among many jumpers options on windows and doors.

After studying the advantages and disadvantages of all the options, I decided on the choice, on the basis of several criteria.

Rationality.

When I see examples of huge monolithic concrete beams above the windows and doors, there is only one question: "Why is the city?"

Probably all comes from the brickworkWhere over the windows many small elements that can "fall out" under its own weight. But when above the opening, where 2-3 aerated concrete blocks, which are in fact, and so will be held at the expense of thrust, poured concrete beam, it seems to me at least irrational.

And the same U-Blocks, highly common for this, in my opinion, should be used to fill Laying nets, under the heavy concrete floors, where all this might be really useful. But in this case, they can be replaced by a variant of the prefabricated blocks small thickness.

And then, if we take, it is ready. And to cut himself, as some do... I can not imagine (though pad for the foundation by hand ramming).

Reliability.

❗ But of course, the need to strengthen the opening. The question is, due to what will be done is to strengthen?

In my perfect example - it is ready concrete lintelThat can be purchased, where and aerated. In fact, All the necessary work is carried out in her fittingsthat perceives it stretching masonry.

So I know what to do with their hands ready to beam gluing units and laying rebar in Stroebe.

But for me, and homemade and purchased options, are not suitable because of the large weight. As I would have to mount all alone.

That happens in the structures where the role of reinforcement performs metal profile. But in my opinion, in the masonry should be no exposed metal components.

Optimality.

For all these reasons, I need an option:

1️⃣ with increased reinforcement.

2️⃣ minimal use of concrete.

3️⃣ with the possibility of an assembly plant.

So I decided to do this:

Share of the sides of the wall blocks 100 mm, and put in the center reinforcement and pour the concrete remaining 100 mm. And it will be sufficient to reinforce only the lower part of the structure, as the tension will only be there.

Essentially U-collecting unit, but with a minimal internal volume.

More or less like this:

✅ And I think this will be more than enough.
