Hello,
a door is to be installed in a load-bearing interior wall (calcium silicate brick) in an older semi-detached house (built in 1976) (structural engineer approval obtained).
Questions:
1. Sawing or chiseling the door opening? Disadvantage of sawing: significant dust generation because water cannot be used due to parquet flooring on one side. Disadvantage of chiseling: vibrations? Unclean recess.
The work is to be carried out by a specialist company.
Which breakthrough method would the builder-experienced practitioner recommend?
2. The ceiling must be secured with steel supports. Is damage to the parquet floor to be expected even if the support stands on a thick wooden board? The parquet area in the demolition zone is generally protected with panels.
Would be grateful for helpful advice.
