As the title states, I would like to saw up this door opening to accommodate a taller door. The door opening is currently about 196cm in height, I would like to fit a 21-frame.
The wall consists of lightweight concrete. How do the beams usually look, how high are they, and how much reinforcement is there in them? I chipped away a bit of the stone and can see that there is, of course, reinforcing steel.
Is it possible to saw out 14 cm to get the height I want? What measures do I need to take, such as installing new reinforcing steel when I've sawed?
Assuming it's a 7 cm ytong interior wall that isn't load-bearing? In that case, you can easily take the tiger and make the hole as you want it without any other measures.
I was considering making a higher door as well, but I'm unsure if it can be done without having to cut away load-bearing parts.
The wall in question is an exterior wall, even though there's a small vestibule behind it. The door is currently ~185cm, so I hit my head on the frame if I'm not careful.
Previous owners have covered ugly building beams with panels... If you're wondering what's there.
