Load-bearing wall demolition
Demolishing a load-bearing wall is, above all, about opening up your interior to free yourself from the constraints of a closed room and allow air to circulate more freely. It’s also a powerful way to bring natural light into dark corners, brightening your daily life and visually expanding each room.
You’re looking to reconfigure your living space to better suit your current needs. Whether it’s to create an open-plan kitchen/dining room or a larger living room to accommodate your loved ones, this modification meets a functional need: to live in a more fluid environment better suited to your lifestyle.

Do you have questions? That’s normal. We answer them here.
What is a load-bearing wall and why is it important?
A load-bearing wall is a wall that supports the load of the upper floors, roof, or other structural elements of your home. It is essential for the stability of the home and the distribution of weight on the foundation.
Why does knocking down a load-bearing wall require professional expertise?
Demolishing a load-bearing wall without professional expertise can compromise the integrity of the structure and lead to the risk of subsidence, cracking, or even collapse. A structural engineer must assess the load and design a support replacement plan.
What types of reinforcements are used after the load-bearing wall is demolished?
To replace the load-bearing wall, a structural beam is installed above the opening. Common materials used are steel or glued laminated timber (LVL). These beams are supported by reinforced posts or walls to transfer the load to the ground.
