Load Bearing Wall Specialists County Laois
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 beginning any remodelling work inside your home is to establish 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 design, there is a good chance you will need to remove a load bearing wall, and if that is the case, it will require reinforcement using a new load bearing RSJ steel beam.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and load bearing wall removal create additional internal space, for example by opening up a ground floor layout, taking out a structural wall and transferring its load onto a steel beam. The work includes structural engineer calculations and building control approval, temporary support (Acrows and Strongboys) during wall removal, fitting the steel onto padstones, building in the beam, and making good all walls, floors and ceilings.
This approach is also commonly used to create large openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bi fold or sliding door openings.
