No real structial different just extra work with bulk heads. yes, but couldn't they hide the support beams within the bulk heads?? Custom build! Re: Roof support 4May 31, 2010 12:11 pm Wouldn't the builder just factor in some steel lintels to support the weight of the floor above? Re: Roof support 5May 31, 2010 12:40 pm See if he needs to span that distance from one side to the other he will need a hefty beam sitting across that open expanse. When I say hefty I mean something around 310mm plus in height. It may even be 380. So he wants to add some support so that section does not need to be as tall. If it's too tall if will effect the ceiling height eg.bulkheads that screw up that nice flat roof. Not much you can do, raise the floor upstairs?, I'm kidding. 4 4235 traditional gable roof facade - Have you did the dark and light gray color combination in facade with gray stone in facade… 0 5301 ok thanks - yes was wondering if that should have been listed as Option Three! 2 8174 |
