"Over-design" endangers residential safety. Who dares to live in such a house?

Don't underestimate the problem of tearing down the wall and digging holes, because "touching" on the load-bearing wall of the house is likely to cause the safety problem of the house structure. As owners, consumers should ask more questions when they find that the decoration company has changed the wall: Is it a load-bearing wall? Load-bearing walls are mostly solid walls, which play an important supporting role. Once its original form is destroyed, it is likely to endanger the safety of consumers' lives.

In the process of reforming the indoor structure, even if the non-load-bearing wall is removed, it must be recognized by the property and professionals to avoid burying potential safety hazards.

"I gave my home to the decoration company to do. I didn't expect such a problem. "

"I don't understand the building structure, but their professional designers can't tell which is the load-bearing wall?"

During the renovation, the indoor load-bearing wall was removed. To this end, Ms. Tao, who lives near the river in Chaoyang District, and the decoration company involved in the design and construction were taken to court by the residential property.

"I gave my home to the decoration company to do. I didn't expect such a problem. " Ms. Tao said: "I don't understand the building structure, but their professional designers can't tell which is the load-bearing wall?" They don't know if the load-bearing wall can be removed. "

The question raised by Ms. Tao is not a case. Faced with the problem of whether the load-bearing wall can be removed in family decoration, there are not a few cases that are contrary to the state regulations in actual construction. Some home improvement companies even "knowingly commit crimes" and use "experience" to tell consumers that "it has been demolished before, and it will be fine". However, as an important support in the building structure, can the load-bearing wall really be changed at will? How should consumers distinguish between load-bearing walls and non-load-bearing walls Recently, Guangsha Times visited and discussed the renovation and demolition of load-bearing walls.

find

Designers give full play to "over-design" and "ignorance and fearlessness" to bury mines in their own homes.

It is understood that the house renovated by Ms. Tao is a loft apartment, and the removed load-bearing wall is the wall between the kitchen and the living room in the lower space. Ms. Tao told Guangsha that the designer originally designed an open kitchen and wanted to connect the kitchen with the living room, so the middle wall was torn down. "It was not until the property came to me that they told me that this wall was a load-bearing wall." Ms. Tao said, "At present, the court is still in the trial stage, and I will sue the decoration company after paying compensation and rebuilding the wall as required."

Regarding this kind of decoration problem, Xu, president of Million Home Supervision Company, said that some designers actually do not have good professional quality, and often use some mysterious little tricks to show that they have designed indoor space. "It is the most obvious and intuitive to change the original indoor structure and remove or add walls." Xu said, "Many consumers are willing to pay for this and feel that their homes have become different, that is, they have designs."

On the one hand, carry out structural transformation with outstanding design. On the other hand, in Guangsha era, it was found that many so-called designers did not have corresponding design qualifications, and they might not even know which wall was a load-bearing wall. The purpose of design for design makes these participants with weak basic knowledge have little safety awareness.

truth

Security and stability are based on structural integrity, which affects the whole body.

As the name implies, the load-bearing wall is the wall that supports the weight of the upper floor, which directly affects the stability of the building. Although the national Regulations on the Administration of Seismic Fortification of Building Projects has made clear punishment measures for "changing or destroying seismic facilities such as seismic components of building projects without authorization", there are still consumers and decoration companies who make major changes and minor changes by virtue of the experience of "nothing serious".

In fact, although most houses will not collapse instantly because of the removal of a load-bearing wall, the stressed wall is determined by the structural engineer through scientific and rigorous calculation, and the length and thickness of the wall are designed and built by integrating the whole building. The complete structure is the foundation for the house to ensure stability, firmness and earthquake resistance.

If the law is an objective constraint, the actual situation may directly affect the safety of consumers themselves and their neighbors. After the load-bearing wall is removed, it may lead to cracks in the building and shorten its service life. In severe cases, buildings may collapse when washed by earthquakes, strong winds or floods.

The actual function of "artificial limb" is not as good as before.

At the same time, after being complained by neighbors or property, some consumers are lucky enough to tear down the load-bearing wall and rebuild it in its original position as a support. In this regard, Li, a senior designer of the Nine-Space Overall Design Agency, said that this measure can really play a supporting and bearing role, but compared with the original building structure, there will still be a gap. For example, a fractured person can walk without artificial limbs, but it is not as good as before.

There are also some consumers who think that as long as you don't tear down the whole wall, you can open a door or hollow out a part for modeling. In this regard, the general manager of the decoration said that it is not uncommon for the load-bearing wall to open the door, but consumers must pay attention to the follow-up reinforcement work. The usual reinforcement method is to stick steel or carbon fiber, but these operations must be completed by qualified units when the property permits, and the door cannot be opened too wide. However, it is recommended not to move the load-bearing wall as much as possible.

point out

Look at the picture and listen to the wall thickness. Comprehensive judgment of structure

In fact, leaving your home completely to the decoration company may make you worry for the time being, but it may also become a roadblock in the future. Especially when dealing with the most important security issues, consumers should pay more attention and master some tips, which are simple but can save a lot of trouble. For how to distinguish between load-bearing walls and non-load-bearing walls, professionals provide four small features:

Look at the drawings: generally speaking, the position structure of the black thick solid line in the drawing of the apartment is a load-bearing wall and cannot be demolished.

Listen to the sound: knocking on the wall has a clear echo, usually a light wall; What is low and muffled is the load-bearing wall.

Thickness measurement: measured with a ruler, the thickness is about 150 mm, which is usually a non-bearing wall with a thickness of about 240 mm, which is usually a bearing wall.

Understand the structure: understand the structure of residential houses. Generally speaking, the walls of brick-concrete houses are load-bearing walls; The walls in a general frame structure house are not load-bearing walls.

Of course, some people will complain that if there is no problem with the initial design of the house, they will not waste time and energy to transform it. The refinement of residential design needs to be improved, which is also a practical problem that needs to be improved. How much time and cost developers spend on real estate architectural design directly affects the living environment presented to consumers. If the developer can go slower and think more carefully in the design, it may reduce many major transformations in the later period.
