Is the wall of the balcony door frame a load bearing wall?

Not necessarily. It is related to the length and width of the interior and the structural form of the balcony.

If the balcony slab is supported on the overhanging beam, the overhanging beam is generally supported on two walls perpendicular to the balcony window, which is a load-bearing wall;

If it is a panel balcony supported on the lintel of the balcony door, when the bedroom connecting the balcony wall is the long side of the interior, the wall is more likely to be a load-bearing wall, and if it is a short side, the load-bearing wall is less likely. If the kitchen room is close to the square, it may or may not be a load-bearing wall, which will be known after looking at the drawings;

If the panel balcony is long (meters or more), in order to solve the anti-overturning of the balcony, when the wall on the balcony door lintel is not enough to balance the overturning load of the balcony, the design often extends the balcony slab indoors and doubles as a kitchen floor, then the wall connecting the bedroom connecting the balcony is generally not a load-bearing wall.

In short, whether the load-bearing wall is designed according to the function and cost of the building, and sometimes the construction period and other factors may be considered, and it cannot be generalized. If you want to do the renovation, it is recommended to ask a professional designer of the building structure to help on site for safety.

It's a load-bearing wall, but that's okay. Not to mention opening a few more holes, it's fine. It doesn't matter. People can also open holes in the beams.

That wall is a load-bearing wall, but it doesn't matter if you open an air conditioning hole and break a steel bar.

The walls on either side of the balcony are not necessarily load-bearing walls, but there is also a possibility of counterweight walls.

If the outer wall of the balcony does not have large windows, then it is basically a load-bearing wall, and it is difficult to restore the mechanical structure after removing it; If it's a half-section wall with large windows, it's a counterweight wall. Random demolition will cause the balcony to fall or fall, and to a certain extent, it will cause property and even life threat.

A method for judging the location of load-bearing walls.

1. Under normal circumstances, the walls of old houses with brick and concrete structures belong to load-bearing walls. The exterior walls of frame houses built of reinforced concrete are generally load-bearing walls, and the walls connected to neighbors are also load-bearing walls. Interior walls such as bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, etc., are usually non-load-bearing walls. Whether the wall is a load-bearing wall can be judged by sound, the thickness of the wall, and the house plan.

2. The simplest and most accurate way to judge the load-bearing wall is to check the house structure diagram of the house. Usually the black thick part in the drawing represents the load-bearing wall, and the wall under the non-load-bearing beam in the ring beam structure also belongs to the load-bearing wall; Non-load-bearing walls are usually used in drawings as thin solid lines or dashed lines. When you are decorating the interior, you should not remove the load-bearing wall or dig a door opening in the load-bearing wall.

It may be load-bearing, it may be a counterweight wall, in short, it is forbidden to remove it in order to expand the use of bedrooms and living rooms. Load-bearing wall: refers to the wall that supports the weight of the upper floor, which is a black wall on the engineering drawing, and will destroy the entire building structure if it is broken.

1. If it is an exterior wall without a large window, then it is basically an exterior wall, which is the so-called load-bearing wall, and it is difficult to restore the mechanical structure after it is removed;

2. If it is a half-section wall with a large window, it is called a counterweight wall, and its removal will lose the counterweight wall that supports the balcony, which will cause the balcony to fall or fall, thus causing property and even life threat.

The thickness of the load-bearing wall is more than 240cm, and the thickness of the shear wall is more than 200cm indoors. The shear wall is resistant to transverse force, and it must not be demolished.

Load-bearing wall: refers to the wall that supports the weight of the upper floor, which is a black wall on the engineering drawing, and will destroy the entire building structure if it is broken. The non-load-bearing wall refers to the wall that does not support the weight of the upper floor, and only plays the role of separating one room from another.

Summary. Load-bearing walls are distinguished by the structure of the house. The sides of the balconies of frame structure houses are generally not load-bearing walls.

For example, the house is simply load-bearing or longitudinal wall-bearing, and the balcony is relatively vertically protruding, so the two sides are load-bearing walls. Balconies are protruding relatively parallel to each other, and the walls on both sides perpendicular to the load-bearing walls are not load-bearing walls.

The load-bearing wall is to see that the house is lacking in structure to block the leakage of rent. The sides of the balconies of frame structure houses are generally not load-bearing walls. For example, the house is simply load-bearing or longitudinal wall-bearing, and the balcony is relatively vertically protruding, so the two sides are load-bearing walls.

Balconies are protruding relatively parallel to each other, and the walls on both sides perpendicular to the load-bearing walls are not load-bearing walls.

Hope it helps! Have a great day!

Summary. In brick-concrete structures, when the balcony is designed to protrude from the masonry wall, the part of the wall where the cantilever beam is located, and the part of the wall that is pressed against the overhanging beam is called the counterweight wall. The counterweight wall is used to balance the load of the balcony and ensure that the balcony does not overturn.

Are the walls of the balcony and living room load-bearing walls?

Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your questions. I'm sorting out the answers, so please wait a while

Generally a small part of the balcony living room wall is.

But every house is different. You can take a look at the building diagram. There will be annotations.

Hello, the top floor of the sixth floor smashed the wall under the window leading to the balcony, brick and concrete house, does this have an effect on the balcony?

There is generally no effect.

It's best to look at the building diagram. Glance.

We have been looking at the house for 25 years, and the drawings and lines on the house book are all the same. Now there are cracks in the balcony, and we are all worried that the balcony will fall, is that flower called a counterweight wall?

That wall is about less than 40 centimeters thick.

In brick-concrete structures, when the balcony is designed to protrude from the masonry wall, the part of the wall where the cantilever beam is located, and the part of the wall that is pressed against the overhanging beam is called the counterweight wall. The counterweight wall is used to balance the load of the balcony and ensure that the balcony does not overturn.

Personal opinion, is not much of a problem. But it is still advisable to find a decorator to take a look.

Your master who smashes the wall knows best.

Now they have removed the wall under the window, which is about less than 40 centimeters thick, will it affect the bearing of the balcony and risk falling?

No. We were downstairs residents, and after they demolished it, they found that the balcony had cracks in the wall, the size of chopsticks.

If it's not your home.

It's a different way of saying it.

The upstairs renovation has affected my home, so I have to talk to him.

Because of the impact of the upstairs decoration on my home, the follow-up problems in the future, if the upstairs is not restored. Then it is necessary to take full responsibility in the future.

So, please advise you, we were all frightened, looking for the housing management station, giving them a rectification notice, and then the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Commission came, and began to say that let the original state be restored, the second time, it is safe, the wall under the window is not a load-bearing wall, the balcony is fine, it will not fall, if the balcony has a problem, it will also be folded down, it will not fall.

And they were right.

It is best to recover. It's not a big problem if you don't recover.

However, no one dares to guarantee you 100%.
