Remove load-bearing steel beam

[OTG]

IPE 200 can be replaced by HEA 180 or HEB 160. Using glulam in the joists can avoid steel beams, but it's a major renovation.

Thank you Justus! I agree with you that the renovation could be extensive and probably cost more than it's worth. The simplest solution in that case is to clad the beams that become visible.

Even a HEM120 should work? Even if it's probably a bit rarer?

Thanks. I'll search for hem 120.

HEM 120 works.
