Why Steel Beam Calculations Matter
Steel beams and timber beams are used to provide support and stability to buildings. Determining the size, shape and placement of these beams to ensure that they will withstand the anticipated loads and adhere to Building Regulations is an essential part of the planning process.
Where are Steel Beams Used?
Extensions
Home extensions add space and value to properties. Whether it’s a kitchen extension in Birmingham or a bedroom extension in Coventry, steel beams are essential to ensure that the extended structure can support its weight. This means that accurate calculations are the backbone of the planning process.
Loft Conversions
Converting a loft into a usable space is a cost-effective way to maximise the living area of your home without expanding the footprint of the house. In cities like Wolverhampton and Dudley, where space may be limited, loft conversions are a particularly popular solution. Both steel and timber beams are often needed for loft conversion projects to support the additional weight. This means that beam calculations are a crucial part of the planning and construction process.
Load Bearing Wall Removal
Removing load-bearing walls can transform the layout and feel of a home, creating open-plan living spaces and enhancing natural light flow. However, removing a load bearing wall isn’t a simple project. Work has to be completed to a high standard to preserve the structural integrity of the building, which often means using steel beams.
Our steel beam calculation packages for load bearing wall removal projects take the stress and uncertainty out of the complicated calculation process.
