maximum opening in a stud wall
i have a 19' X 11' wall in which i want to install a recessed showcase
in the size of 10' X 2.5'. The showcase will be 10" deep, i.e. 4" recessed + 6" outside. This is an interior wall between two commercial spaces and which has 1-3/4"X4" studs every 16". Is the opening for the recessed showcase within the safe limits of how much the reframing of the wall can bear? thanks |

You also may have problems because it is an opening between two commercial spaces. Those things are generally covered under different and far more restrictive codes than residential. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

maximum opening in a stud wall
above the wall and along the entire length, there is an I beam which
makes me believe that the wall itself is not load bearing. Joseph Meehan wrote: allpurpose wrote: i have a 19' X 11' wall in which i want to install a recessed showcase in the size of 10' X 2.5'.

It is especially difficult here since it is a commercial environment and construction standards can be different than most people are accustomed to. Considering the consequences of making a mistake, it would be a good idea to make sure.
