How to accurately judge the position of load-bearing wall?

The load-bearing wall is the pillar of the house, bearing the weight of the whole floor and guarding the safety of our home. Therefore, it is very important to accurately judge the position of the load-bearing wall when decorating or decorating the house!

View house drawings

Look at the drawings of the house, those thick black lines are the signs of the load-bearing wall!

Knock on the wall and listen to the sound.

It's also a good idea to knock on the wall and listen to the sound. If there is a clear echo when knocking at the door, it is mostly a light wall rather than a load-bearing wall!

Observe wall thickness

Observe the thickness of the wall. Usually 150mm thick partition walls are mostly non-bearing walls, such as toilets and kitchens.

Observation wall brick

Observing wall tiles is also a simple method. Standard brick walls are usually load-bearing walls, and aerated bricks are non-load-bearing walls!
