Load-bearing wall

[Sanel0212]

Hello.

It's about an extension to a single-story villa. The extension is 30m2. The question is: is this a load-bearing wall? It runs perpendicular to the roof. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

I cannot answer that type of question, but those who usually do would like to know when the house was built and to see at least a floor plan, preferably also other drawings such as a section drawing.

Ok, here is a bit more info. The extension was made in the 2000s. It is the one on the left in the picture.

One more image. The beam in the middle is 140x45 mm

I can't imagine that any of the partitions in the extension are load-bearing.

Another picture. The beam in the middle is 140x45 mm

If it were meant to be load-bearing, 45×145 sounds a bit flimsy.

Thank you for the quick responses. What you can see under the drywall is insulation that lies above boards which are placed 30cm apart. I wonder if these are nailed to the rafters or if they are loose and supported by the beam I want to remove. I am a new homeowner and maybe not using the correct terminology, so I hope you understand me Here are some more pictures.

One more picture. This is how it looks above the beam.

If it were load-bearing, 45×145 sounds somewhat weak.

Yes, and as it is positioned, the load-bearing capacity is worse than the 45x70 that are there, as there is nothing preventing it from sagging in the flimsy dimension.
