We will be informed before the main renovation of the renovation, bearing wall can not be demolished. So what exactly is a bearing wall? The walls of the home look the same. How do ordinary decorators distinguish between load-bearing walls and non-load-bearing walls? This article teaches you several easy-to-learn small ways to judge your home's load-bearing walls and non-load-bearing walls.
What is a bearing wall?
The bearing wall refers to the wall that supports the weight of the upper floor. On the drawing, it is a black wall. Destroying it will destroy the entire building structure. Non-load-bearing wall means a wall that does not support the weight of the upper floor and only plays a room. The role of being separated from the other room is a hollow wall on the drawing. Whether this wall has no major influence on the building structure.
The thick solid line in the construction drawing and the wall under the unsupported beam in the ring beam structure are load-bearing walls. The on-site examination of the prefabricated ring beam on the wall is certainly a bearing wall. Non-bearing walls are generally marked with thin solid lines or dashed lines on the drawings. They are walls made of lightweight and simple materials. Non-bearing walls are generally thin and only used for partition walls.
In general, all walls of a brick-concrete structure are load-bearing walls; walls inside a frame structure are not generally load-bearing walls. Of course, as far as the structure of the house itself is concerned, whether the wall is a load-bearing wall or not should be carefully studied and checked after actual survey on site.
How to identify bearing walls and non-load-bearing walls as a decoration rookie?
If you are an old brick-concrete house, tell you a simple way to judge. Apart from the partition wall of the kitchen and bathroom, the rest is a load-bearing wall (ie, a brick wall) which is a load-bearing wall, bearing wall and a door.

2, judging by sound: knock wall, there is a crisp echo, is a light wall, and load-bearing wall should not have too much sound.
3. Judging by the thickness: The walls of the non-load-bearing wall in the floor plan are clearly drawn thinner than the load-bearing wall, generally about 10 cm thick. The load-bearing walls are thick and their thickness is generally about 24 cm.
In general, when the load-bearing wall is a brick wall, the structure is 24 cm thick, the wall thickness in the cold area is 37 cm, the thickness of the concrete wall structure is 20 cm or 16 cm, and the non-bearing walls are 12 cm, 10 cm, and 8 cm.
4, through the site to determine: the external walls are usually load-bearing walls, and the neighbors share the same wall. The general non-bearing walls are in bathrooms, storage rooms, kitchens and aisles.
