Load Bearing Wall Specialists County Dublin
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 considerations before undertaking any remodelling work inside your home is identifying which walls are load bearing walls and which are not.
If you are remodelling the interior of your home and seeking a more open plan layout, there is a good chance you will need to remove a load bearing wall. Should this be the case, it will require reinforcement with a new load bearing RSJ steel beam.
Steel beam (RSJ) installation and load bearing wall removal create open, spacious interiors. A common example is opening up the layout of a ground floor by removing 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 whilst 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 used to form large openings for extensions, knock throughs and wide bi fold or sliding door openings.
