Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / steel frames
Spanish term or phrase: cabecero superior
Describing various types of steel frames for doors and windows:

Standard sin cabecero superior y doble sin cabecero superior

Cerco de acero galvanizado de 1,5mm prepintado sin cabecero superior. Dispuesto para una o dos hojas.

I know that 'cabecero' is normally a head beam, but is it so in this context, and what about 'superior'? Upper or top head beam doesn't sound at all right!

lintel


Explanation:
that´s what it´s normally called. I think you could forget about the superior here, since lintels (or door lintels) are always on the upper end of a door.

Frame-head


Explanation:
Lintel is dintel, so why not use it. Crossbar comes to mind too, but has a different meaning (travesano= barra as bar on a bicycle or a goalpost.

Actually its frame head (not hyphenated). You can see an entire glossary of window parts here: www.traco.com. They call it "window industry language".

In the site mentioned there are pictures. If you have one you can compare. Head is also possible, judging from the pictures.
