Load Bearing Wall Specialists County Offaly
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 layout, there is a good chance you will need to remove a load bearing wall. Should that be the case, it will require reinforcement with a new load bearing RSJ beam.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and load bearing wall removal create open, spacious interiors. A common example is opening up a ground floor layout by taking out a structural wall and transferring its load onto a steel beam. The work encompasses structural engineer calculations and building control approval, temporary support (Acrows and Strongboys) during wall removal, installing the steel onto padstones, building in the beam, and making good all walls, floors and ceilings.
This approach is also widely used to form large openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bi fold or sliding door openings.
