Hi all.
Looking for some advice on loft conversion and flooring joists and would be grateful for any help.
My party wall to party wall span is 5.8 meters. Im considering using timber instead of steel RSJ's. The area would be unsupported as there are no supporting walls in between.
Im considering C24 timber at 225mm x 50mm or 75mm.
However im unsure if I can span this area with unsupported joists under building regs. Im looking to get an architect in but looking to gain as much knowledge as possible so I can discuss different options with him. Thanks in advance.
