How to distinguish load-bearing wall

In the design of house decoration, because the owners don't like the original spatial layout, they need to re-plan, and some walls will be demolished if necessary. Then we should pay attention to distinguish the bearing walls when demolishing the walls. The following decoration design company teaches you how to distinguish the load-bearing wall.

family planning

You can see the load-bearing wall of the house from the floor plan given by the property. The part marked black in the plan is a load-bearing wall, and the white part is a non-load-bearing wall. Therefore, when transforming the spatial layout, it is necessary to know which load-bearing walls cannot be easily transformed.

wall thickness

You can tell whether it is a load-bearing wall by looking at its thickness. Generally, non-bearing walls are relatively thin, about 10mm thick. There will be a clear echo when you beat it with your hand, but the thickness of the load-bearing wall is generally above 240mm, and the sound is very heavy, so there is no sound when you beat it.

Building structure

See whether it is a low-rise residence or a bungalow villa, because these buildings are basically brick-concrete structures and almost all are load-bearing walls. There are many high-rise buildings, which are basically frame structures.

frame construction

The load-bearing wall of a house can also be roughly judged from the structure of the house. Because ordinary brick-concrete houses are built with load-bearing walls. In a house with frame structure, the outer wall is generally a load-bearing wall, but the inner wall is generally not.
