Load-bearing wall or not?

[Hejochhåvadetgår]

Can you see from the drawing if the red-marked wall is load-bearing or not? The idea is that we will only widen the opening between these rooms, and not demolish the wall all the way to the ceiling.

Can you tell from the drawing if the wall marked in red is load-bearing or not? The idea is that we are only going to widen the opening between these rooms, and not demolish the wall all the way up to the ceiling.

It doesn't look load-bearing. Probably only the wall in the middle is a heart wall and has a load-bearing function. But if you want to be sure, you should hire a structural engineer or find the construction drawings.

Hardly load-bearing. But what else can you say? Do you know if it is a standard gypsum-clad stud wall? How thick is it?

 

[Hejochhåvadetgår]

About 12 cm thick wall with old masonite.
The idea is that we will widen the opening by an additional 110cm approx. See image.

What do you think? Is it safe?

What do you think? Safe?

I think it's calm.

That far to the side, my amateur eye decides it is not load-bearing. However, 120 studs sound thick for a regular interior wall.

That's not a load-bearing wall. Just go ahead and tear it down.

Previously asked here on the forum whether a wall is likely to be load-bearing or not. The idea is to widen the opening by about 1 meter. The reason we are now uncertain is due to the thick tongue and groove boards (45mm boards) found behind the masonite. So I ask again, what do you think? See attached images of the drawing and the wall.

I wouldn't think that wall is load-bearing, but it's difficult to assess when you only see a small part of the floor plan. The wall is a two-inch plank wall. The entire house is built with those, whether load-bearing or not. Possibly they are a bit thicker in the exterior walls.

120 studs, on the other hand, sound thick for a regular interior wall

120 studs? Where do you see that info?

I don't know, probably misread the 12cm thick wall.
