Load Bearing Wall Specialists Picton
Every property has loadbearing walls, sometimes positioned to carry loads from the floors above, and sometimes to distribute loads across an existing space over greater spans.
One of the most crucial steps before beginning any internal renovation work in your property is to identify which walls are loadbearing and which aren’t.
If you’re remodelling the interior of your home and want a more open plan layout, there’s a good chance you’ll need to remove a supporting wall, which will need reinforcing with a new loadbearing RSJ beam.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and loadbearing wall removal creates additional internal space, for instance, opening up your ground floor layout by removing a structural wall and transferring its load onto a steel beam. The work includes structural engineer’s calculations and building control approval, temporary support (Acrows and Strongboys) whilst the wall is being removed, installing the steel onto padstones, building in the beam, and making good the walls, floors and ceilings.
This is also used to create large openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bi fold or sliding door openings.
