Hello
I'm wondering if there's someone who can help me with a problem. My problem is when one, as an amateur, listens to people who you think know building construction, but it turns out to be completely wrong!
Well, nothing serious has happened yet, but...
In the living room ceiling leading to the upper floor, glulam beams (42x180mm) with cc 600mm have been installed, and now after a few weeks, the joists have started to sag. The room's dimensions are 6.0m x 3.95m
And now when I look around a bit, I realize that there should have been a completely different dimension for the joists.
My idea is to lay in 2 steel beams, crosswise, as support beams for relief. They should be placed at 2.0m and 2.4m.
Is there anyone who can give some advice and tips on this?
For example, the dimension of the steel beam?
Best regards, Jocke

There was talk about some steel beams being screwed onto existing studs to reinforce them in a thread here a while ago.
It was seen in one of those dear construction defect shows, though I can't remember which one.
It seems spontaneously more sensible to me, I think.

ok
steel beams that you screw onto existing joists seems good, but since I have already insulated-plastered-furred, it still feels like it might be "easier" to lift up the existing ones with cross beams.
But, I will look up the thread, might be a good idea anyway.
