Load Bearing Wall Specialists County Kildare
Every home has load bearing walls, sometimes positioned to support loads from directly above, and sometimes designed to spread 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 supporting wall. Should that be the case, reinforcement with a new load bearing RSJ beam will be required.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and load bearing wall removal create valuable internal space, for instance 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 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.
Steel beams are also commonly used to form large openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bi fold or sliding door openings.
