We are replacing our old wood stove and installing a new Husqvarna No 26. We are building a foundation for it and thought of using lightweight clinker blocks. Do we need to use a special mortar due to the heat?
About 40 cm beside the stove is a wooden wall and a wooden pillar. The pillar is load-bearing.
We want to take down the wooden wall next to the stove and put another pillar directly by the chimney, as well as extend the load-bearing beam in the ceiling. The question now is, can we use wooden pillars, or is there something in metal? Any other suggestions? (Rebuilding with a firewall panel is not an option, as we want to open up the kitchen).
Do we need to replace the wooden pillar that's there, as it is about 40 cm from the wood stove? The manual states two different specifications, at least 30 cm from combustible walls, but when I called the company that sold the wood stove, they said to keep at least 50 cm from combustible walls/in this case, the pillar(s) are probably included. I will try to upload a couple of images for illustration.
I am grateful for different solutions or which load-bearing metal pillars can be used.
The old wood stove is already gone. If we take down the wooden wall to the left of the stove, which supporting pillars can we use that are fireproof..?
The bottom image shows that the supporting beam ends, we will extend it and place a pillar directly beneath it at the chimney. The measurement is 10 cm in thickness.
Your floor plan is almost identical to ours.
Build up under the roof beam and create the support for the beam with concrete blocks/leca blocks.
Ps. A tip is to finish everything directly
That wasn't a bad idea! I'm a bit worried about replacing the load-bearing beam, though, but it should go fine. I'll read up and prepare everything carefully, yes, everything must happen right away, I'd like to keep the upper floor.
My husband's idea is whether the load-bearing front post can be removed and replaced with a brick pillar 60 cm further away, next to the chimney, if the strength of the roof beam holds all the way...
We have another pillar inside the room along the beam in the ceiling, which we will replace with a more neutral wooden pillar. There used to be a wall here before.
I might possibly ask the question about load-bearing capacity in another thread, I'll look around a bit first to see if I can find a tool that can calculate load-bearing points. A friend with an architecture degree (not active though) advised me that there is a formula...
