Load Bearing Wall Specialists County Meath
Every home has load bearing walls, sometimes positioned to support loads from above, and sometimes to distribute loads across an existing area over greater spans.
One of the most important steps before undertaking any remodelling work inside your home is establishing which walls are load bearing walls and which are not.
If you are remodelling the interior of your home and looking to achieve a more open plan layout, there is a good chance you will need to remove a load bearing wall, and if that is the case, it will require reinforcement with a new steel RSJ beam.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and load bearing wall removal create open, generous internal spaces. A common example is opening up a ground floor by taking out a structural wall and transferring its load onto a steel beam. This work encompasses structural engineer calculations and building control approval, temporary support using Acrows and Strongboys while the wall is removed, fitting the steel onto padstones, building in the beam, and making good all walls, floors and ceilings.
This approach is also used to form large openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bi fold or sliding door openings.
