Sounds like a strong generalization that in this case could be associated with a life-threatening situation. I have lightweight concrete (hollow core) in all interior walls on the ground floor of a 150m2 house with a concrete floor slab. That any of these wouldn't be load-bearing is a physical impossibility.Matti_75 said:

I have 149 neighbors with lightweight concrete walls and concrete floors, so as previously mentioned, it's dangerous to generalize. It was very common in certain constructions from the 60s (e.g., småstugebyrån's) with lightweight concrete to choose a (sometimes prefab) concrete floor.

You're right, it's me mixing up the two. But betonghålsten, as it's called, is still fairly light and if I can mix it up with lättbetong, others might do the same, and it could be risky if you start demolishing...injonil said:
Okay.. The room is about 4x2 m, and in the middle, 2 m from another wall, is the wall I believe is made of lightweight concrete.
When I go and knock on the walls on the "sides" and the one straight ahead (I should probably make a drawing), they sound like "real" concrete. The wall in the middle sounds like lightweight concrete and looks like that when you drill into it. How do you go about finding out if you can tear it down? Hire a construction company?
