A brick lintel is a fireplace lintel made from brick. Brick is an excellent material for lintel construction because it is sturdy, contributing to the overall stability and strength of the fireplace, and it is fire resistant, in addition to being attractive, which can be important in fireplace designs where the lintel is exposed. It is possible to retrofit an existing fireplace to install a brick lintel, and an existing lintel which has been damaged can be repaired with new brick and chimney mortar.
