Hello!
I have moved into a townhouse built in 1951, two floors plus a basement. I have opened a sliding door between two rooms on the first floor (pink marking). I'm not sure it has always been a sliding door, but there has always been a door there. The entire opening is now about 160 cm wide, and then we opened 20 cm more above the door. The builder said it's not a load-bearing wall. I would like to double-check on this forum as well. See pictures.

  • Blueprint of a 1951 two-floor townhouse showing the layout, with particular focus on the first floor where a non-load-bearing sliding door was opened.
  • A newly opened doorway in an interior wall, revealing partially exposed brickwork, adjacent to a room with wooden flooring, a window, and a radiator.
  • A partially demolished interior wall with a visible opening between two rooms, showing exposed brickwork and wooden support, in a 1951 townhouse renovation.

It is probably not possible to see from those drawings and pictures. One needs technical drawings.
