Can the load-bearing wall be perforated?

Attention should be paid to safety issues during the construction of load-bearing walls, so as not to affect the building structure, which is not conducive to long-term use. The load-bearing wall can be perforated.

Bearing walls can be drilled.

Bearing walls can be drilled, such as air conditioning holes, but the property management company must be informed before drilling, and drilling can only be started after approval, and the direction, size and quantity of drilling are specified, and rectification is not allowed at will.

The load-bearing wall is the pillar of the whole building.

After all, the load-bearing wall is the pillar of the whole building. If it is damaged, it will destroy the safety performance of the whole building and affect the subsequent use, so be careful.

How to distinguish load-bearing wall

Listening to the sound, looking at the structure of the house, looking at the thickness of the wall and looking at all parts of the house are all ways to distinguish the load-bearing wall.

Listen to the sound.

Most people will judge whether it is a load-bearing wall by knocking on the wall. For example, the knocking sound is clear and the echo is loud, indicating that it is a light wall, not a load-bearing wall. If we hit a load-bearing wall, the sound is generally low and dull.

Look at the structure of the house

Generally, the walls of brick-concrete structure are load-bearing walls, such as middle and low-grade houses and villas. For frame structures such as high-grade houses, the walls in general houses are non-bearing walls. But no matter what the details are, this is only our preliminary identification method.

Look at the thickness of the wall.

The non-load-bearing wall is obviously thinner than the load-bearing wall, which is reflected in the drawings and the actual wall surface. Generally speaking, when the load-bearing wall is a brick wall, the structural thickness is 24cm, the structural thickness of the external wall in cold areas is 37cm, the structural thickness of the concrete wall is 20cm or 16cm, and the thickness of the empty wall is 12 cm, 10 cm, 8 cm.

Look at all parts of the house.

Generally, external walls or walls used with neighbors are load-bearing walls, while the walls of bathrooms, kitchens, storage rooms and corridors are all about 15cm, which are all non-load-bearing walls. Look at the walls and beams of the house. If closely matched, it is also a load-bearing wall.
