For a loft conversion, to rest a 5.9 meter Steel i beam should we use padstone or 30mm steel plates?
My SE has recommended 250 x 100 x 215 padstone. The only problem is this means i have to either lay the padstone below the ceilings in the bedrooms below, which we want to avoid. If we lay that size padstone in the loft it reduces head height considerably.
So we were tjinking of either 30mm steel plates to rest the steel beams on, or maybe concreate lintels?
