There is no door on the balcony of the living room. Can I smash the crib? It's not too late to hammer after reading it

Refers to the corner of the door against the wall or the side of the T-joint wall, in order to facilitate the placement of the door frame and ensure the stability of the wall when the thin-walled door is opened, the square stone must be set. Because the balconies and living rooms of most families are connected together, in order to divide the space, the door battlements in the transition area have played a certain role in partition.

But if you don't install doors, the meaning of battlements will be much weakened.

So some people think the battlements look useless, so they hit them with sledgehammers!

However, if this is a load-bearing wall, the security risks it brings are simply unimaginable.

Because of various forms of glass sliding door, folding doors, etc. Can be completely replaced, with curtains, not only good privacy, but also does not occupy space. More importantly, it largely retains the sense of space transparency and embodies a better quality of life.

The battlements cannot be dismantled at will. Once the load-bearing wall is destroyed, the consequences will be serious.

Therefore, please don't pay for your impulsive behavior at will without in-depth study of your housing structure.

Let's analyze the reasons why battlements can't be broken from four aspects, hoping that friends can be inspired.

Load-bearing structure is related to safety.

The biggest minefield in balcony reconstruction is the careless removal of the load-bearing wall.

Generally speaking, your balcony supports the balcony of your neighbor upstairs. Once the load-bearing wall is smashed, the stability of the building structure will be greatly reduced, and the floor without load-bearing will easily collapse.

Destroy waterproofing and neighborhood harmony.

If your balcony is open-plan, or a life balcony with washing machines and mops, you have to consider waterproofing.

Although the accumulated water in the balcony can be drained through the unobstructed floor drain, it is inevitable that there will be accumulated water in the rainstorm. If the battlements are smashed, the risk of infiltration will further increase, which will further affect neighborhood relations.

Destroy the appearance and find fault with the property.

Almost every modern building has the unity of architectural appearance. Dismantling the balcony structure at will not only causes security risks, but also is incompatible with the overall planning and facade style of the community in terms of modeling.

At this time, the property management company has the right to "find fault" because your behavior of changing the appearance of the house without authorization may have violated their property management regulations. ......

Blank area, style

Difficult to understand

It is certainly beneficial for a small apartment to get through the battlements between the living room and the balcony, because the original compact living room has been opened up a lot at once, making home life more convenient.

But if your living room itself is relatively large, there is no need to do so. Otherwise, the whole space is too empty, and it is difficult to locate the decoration style in design.

What is a load-bearing wall?

Load-bearing wall refers to the wall supporting the weight of the superstructure, which constitutes the structural framework of the whole house, and is a vital part of the whole house, just like the bones of the human body.

Generally speaking, the walls of brick-concrete buildings are load-bearing walls; The walls in a general frame structure house are not load-bearing walls.

However, it is only a general statement, and it is necessary to carefully study the original architectural drawings and determine it after the actual investigation on the spot.

The load-bearing wall is scientifically calculated. If there is a big fight on it, it will affect the stability of the whole foundation and even endanger the life safety of other owners.

How to distinguish load-bearing walls?

Look at these drawings.

In construction drawings, walls without precast ring beams are all load-bearing walls, which are usually marked with thick solid lines.

Non-load-bearing wall, only for partition, light and simple, only plays the role of separating one room from another. Whether this wall exists or not has little influence on the whole building structure.

Non-bearing walls are often marked with thin solid lines or dotted lines on drawings.

Listen to the sound.

Tapping on the wall with your hand is the easiest way to distinguish the sound.

When you knock on the wall, what you hear is the light wall (non-load-bearing wall), while the load-bearing wall has a dull sound.

Look at the thickness

The load-bearing wall supports the whole weight of the floor and furniture, so its thickness is obviously much thicker than that of the non-load-bearing wall.

Generally speaking, the partition wall with a thickness of 150mm is a non-bearing wall.

What kind of battlements can be torn down?

Under what circumstances can you tear down battlements unscrupulously?

After various professional appraisal methods and on-site investigation, it is determined that the light wall that only acts as a partition and does not bear any supporting pressure can be removed.

If it is not necessary to remove the load-bearing wall, the original design unit or professionals must be invited to inspect the house and give the corresponding modification and reinforcement scheme. Demolition and reconstruction can only be started after it is determined that it will not lead to major safety hazards.

Walls with a thickness of more than 240mm are load-bearing walls, and the thickness of load-bearing walls of new apartments even exceeds 300 mm

When decorating, it is not only the investment of funds, but also the safety of the building structure! So before you hammer, you must think twice!
