Hello everyone.
I have been reading passively for a while, but this is my first active question. I would like to install a walkable intermediate floor in our house to store various things. The room over which the intermediate ceiling is to be constructed measures 350cm x 950cm. I imagined this with beams (resting on joist hangers?), spanning the short distance (350cm). On top of that, OSB floorboards or similar. The walls to which the beams are to be attached are masonry on one side and concrete on the other. Additionally, there are two window arches and two door openings in the walls (is this a problem if beams are attached above them?). The question now is how thick the beams need to be dimensioned and at what spacing they should be laid? I still have several rafters from an old attic available with dimensions of 150x100mm. Would this work?
Thank you very much for your help, if I have formulated anything unclearly, please just ask.
