Why RSJ Installation is Required
RSJs are used to support structural loads when removing load bearing walls or creating openings within a property.
Without proper support, structural movement, cracking, or failure can occur. Installing the correct steel beam ensures loads are safely transferred and the building remains structurally sound.
