A load-bearing wall is an active functional structure of a building, and an oftentimes necessary structure that is often found in the construction of homes.
These structural walls provide support to whatever load might be above them; this includes everything from a house's roof, through interior floors - all the way down to their foundation!
These differ from non-load bearing walls, which do not provide any structural support for the building.
Load bearing wall cannot always be removed when renovating or reconfiguring your home but can sometimes helpfully be replaced with something less invasive like poles for example. These alterations do not have to be plain and boring, but can actually be designed not only to be aesthetically pleasing but also functional as well. We want your home to look great and be safe at the same time!
In housing construction, load-bearing walls are often used in the ‘light construction’ method that is also known as ‘platform framing’. The materials that are often used to build these walls include concrete blocks or bricks in the case of huge buildings.
Again, the expertise of a professional builder or licensed contractor are essential in identifying if the wall is structural or non-load bearing.
Can't wait to hear from you!
Removing a wall is not as simple as just knocking it down. You need to know if the wall is structural or not, and even then you have to be careful with removing it.
When we bought our home, there was this one section of drywall that blocked off access to our garage. It had been like that for years and no one knew why they put up this wall in the first place! We wanted to remove it because we were planning on turning our garage into a game room but didn't want any unnecessary work later on when we decided to sell the property.
The team at Wall Removals Perth came out and assessed the situation (we got an inspection report) and told us exactly what needed done. They removed the drywall without damaging anything else in my house, did all of their cleanup afterwords. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs some walls removed from their homes
