Hang Joists from Steel Beam - Lintel Design
Sorry this is a bit long!
I am looking to take an internal wall out of the kitchen. The wall is about 3/4 of the way down the length of the kitchen and provides support for a joint in the ceiling joists. This is a single storey extension, so the joists form part of the roof timber construction. The roof is purpose built and not pre-fab'd A frame, so it has 2 angled beams across the width of the roof space providing intermediate support for rafters. Also it has 2 longitudinal tie beams going the length of the roof space. I have seen this style of roof before and believe it was common before the introduction of the pre-made A frames. I have had some plan designers in to draw up the general alterations, but the details for the support of the joists was a bit sketchy. They mentioned joist hangers to suspend the timber joist joint from a steel beam installed in the roof space above the existing wall location. The questions: Does anyone have a link to pictures/suppliers of these hangers? I have searched and searched without success! Will this beam be carrying anything other than the weight of the ceiling and ceiling timbers? TIA Phil |
