What is the common term for horizontal framing components found over door/window openings?

  1. Lintels.

  2. Studs.

  3. Forgers.

  4. Beams.

  5. Headers.

  6. Plates.

The correct answer is: Lintels.

Lintels are the horizontal framing components found over door/window openings. They are responsible for bearing the load of the structure above the opening. Lintels are essential for the structural integrity of the building and help distribute the weight from above the opening to the surrounding walls. Studs are vertical framing components, forgers are not a recognized term in construction, beams are horizontal structural members that span long distances, headers are also horizontal framing members placed above doors and windows, and plates are horizontal framing members at the top and bottom of a wall.
