Wall opening for improved lay-out

In most cases, the opening in the supporting wall is made to improve the functional characteristics of the living space and its rationalization. Many families try to do this on their own, but not everyone does the right thing. Indeed, such works are considered quite complicated, because in the process it is necessary to take into account the features of the walls. If partial dismantling does not involve serious problems, then the opening in the capital wall can create certain difficulties. Thus, the coordination of the project with the staff of the relevant bodies can be considered a very important moment.

Creating an opening in the load-bearing wall in modern houses from panels, it is necessary to understand that in them almost all partitions are capital. However, with the right approach, it will be possible to improve the layout. Of course, there are a number of limitations, because of which it is impossible to coordinate the project. This primarily applies to cutting under the joints of the main slabs, as well as under the columns, beams and pillars. An important role is played by the strengthening that must be created to ensure the strength of the wall. To achieve reliability it is possible with the help of standard metal rolling in the form of corners, strips and channels.

Diamond cutting allows you to get an opening in the bearing wall with the most efficiency. In addition, this method is considered one of the safest, but only if the thickness of the partition does not exceed 80 centimeters. After carrying out the work, perfectly smooth edges are obtained, which greatly shortens the execution time. The above method is also effective in the arrangement of window openings and openings for communication systems. Thanks to the technology of diamond cutting, it becomes possible to expand the openings in all types of walls.

Describe the sequence of works aimed at creating an opening in the bearing wall, as follows. First, a marking with a zone designation for the jumper is performed. After it through holes in the resulting rectangle are made through holes. They are required to indicate work points on the opposite side. Next, you need to make sure that the jumper will support a whole cascade of elements. Then you can start removing plaster and finishing in a certain place, where it is planned to introduce a channel. The markings are placed under the level of the horizontal seam between the bricks, if the wall is made of this material.

The niche under the jumper is made using a hammer and a chisel. It is also planned to drill out special holes required for bolts. A cement slurry is added from one side to the inside , after which a channel is installed. In the same way, the channel is laid from the opposite side. From the solution, only the holes necessary for tightening the bolts are cleaned. When it is required to make an opening in the wall, in some situations it may be necessary to have additional reinforcement, implying the installation of vertical supports. At the final stage, the entire box is finished.
