Load Bearing Wall Specialists Newbridge
Every house has load-bearing walls, sometimes set to support loads from above, and sometimes to spread loads across an existing area over longer spans.
One of the most important things before you start any remodelling inside your home is to make sure which walls are load-bearing walls and which are not.
If you are remodelling the interior of your home and looking for a more open-plan design, chances are you will be removing a supporting wall, and if so, it will require reinforcement with a new load-bearing RSJ beam.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and load-bearing wall removal open up internal space, for example, opening up the layout of a ground floor, by taking out a structural wall and transferring its load onto a steel beam. Work covers the structural engineer’s calculations and building control approval, temporary support (Acrows and Strongboys) while the wall is removed, installing the steel onto padstones, building in the beam, and making good walls, floors and ceilings.
Also used to form large openings for extensions, knock-throughs and wide bi-fold or sliding door openings.
