Existing structural walls have been removed to create our new open Kitchen & Dining layout. Temporary support walls have been installed to safely support the home while the new structural framing is being installed.
Because steel beams can typically span 1.5 to 3 times farther than wood beams of the same dimensions, they allow us to create larger, more open spaces while eliminating the need for intermediate support columns.
The steel beam needs to be packed with wood so the existing wood joists can hang on the sides.
The steel beam, with a wood nailer installed on top, is set flush with the existing wood floor framing. The wood nailer provides a solid surface for fastening the floor sheathing and helps prevent future floor squeaks that could occur if the steel beam experiences slight deflection under load. It also plays an important structural role by transferring floor loads into the steel beam—something the floor sheathing alone is not designed to do.
Although San Francisco has the lowest rate of air-conditioned homes of any major U.S. metropolitan area, a growing number of our San Francisco clients have chosen to upgrade their homes in preparation for warmer days ahead.
