Wind load can be quite significant
Especially in Dalsland when I've been there... Skåne isn't bad either. You are of course right. I just wanted to illustrate that pinching in the saw is not a reliable method.

Would like to raise a warning flag for the idea of decorating an attic sleeping loft. At least if it involves the thought of altering the roof trusses, which in that case need to be replaced by entirely new ones in between the old ones. Floor beams made of laminated wood need to be in the order of 90x495 mm to handle the span.

Hi, sorry for the late response.

I completely missed that you wrote.
You're absolutely right that I need to reinforce if it comes to furnishing. I thought I'd cross that bridge if I even get that far.

I'm still trying to gather facts on whether I can remove the wall there.
Considering putting a beam from the end to the chimney at the kitchen island just in case...

The house measures 8 meters between the walls.

Can anyone, using the images, say something with moderate certainty?
 
  • Rafters in an attic space with a flashlight highlighting a wooden beam and a measuring tape nearby.
  • A measuring tape on insulation material and wooden plank under a flashlight in a construction setting.
  • Wooden attic framework with beams and floorboards, poorly lit by a flashlight, showing structural elements for evaluation.
  • An unfinished attic with wooden beams and a small window, some exposed wiring, and a wooden floor.

Best answer

Roof trusses (if they are correctly sized) are self-supporting between the outer walls and do not require any interior walls for support.

The project is well underway now, this is what the wall looks like.
It is about 75mm thick.

We had a similar wall in the bathroom when we knocked out a wall there. We had 2 bathrooms right next to each other and oddly enough, chose to make it one.
