Top 5 Reasons Homeowners Love Open Concept
One of the most sought-after renovations is tearing down a wall to create an open space. Their biggest concern is the cost of tearing down walls. Before any work commends, an inspection must be done to confirm if the wall is loadbearing. A loadbearing wall is a wall that transfers the load from any floor and the roof above down onto a point below that has the strength to carry the weight of the house. If a loadbearing wall is removed without adding a beam or other provisions an engineer deems necessary, a home has the possibility of collapse.
The inspection can typically be done without breaking and disrupting anything, so the only cost incurred is the inspection cost.
5 Reasons to change to open concept:
- Flowing Natural Light – Automatically makes your home feel and look bigger!
- Flow of traffic – It is easier to move around your home when there isn’t a wall in your way.
- Unclutter your home – When you have an open concept floor plan, it gives opportunities for more storage without overcrowding your home.
- Entertainment – When you have friends over, open concept floor plans enable you to enjoy your company while you are still preparing things in the kitchen without feeling too crowded.
- Increases home values– Changing to an open concept can increase the value of your home because we can build a large kitchen island and spacious living/dining area.
