Hi This is my first post, so hello to everybody from Yorkshire.
My question is that i have a ground floor level door opening (1.5m wide). I need to build it up.
i have a suspended timber floor with the floorboards running right through the opening into the next room.
I was going to build it up in studwalling, but my builder says he wants to build it up with the lightest blockwork straight off the boards. Is this ok?
My thoughts are that the bockwork will probably be no heavier than a studwall and the studwall would be built straight off th floorboards. So it would be ok!
Any thoughts?
Thank you
