Bearers are horizontal beams that are part of your home's subfloor system, placed between the foundation and the floor joists. They help distribute the load and provide structural support to your floors, ensuring they don’t sag or shift over time. 💪

🔑 Why Bearers are Important:

Support: They carry the weight of the floor, walls, and even furniture. 🛋️

Stability: Prevents sagging and shifting, keeping floors level.

Durability: Properly installed bearers extend the life of your subfloor and flooring. ⏳

Think of them as the foundation's "backbone" – without strong bearers, your floor wouldn’t have the solid support it needs! 🏡

A lintel is a horizontal support beam placed above doors, windows, or other openings in a wall. It carries the weight from the wall above and ensures that the opening remains secure and stable. 🔧💪

🔑 Why Lintels Matter:

Support: They bear the weight of brick, stone, or concrete above. 🧱

Safety: Prevents cracks or sagging around your windows and doors.

Durability: A solid lintel can add years to the life of your wall. ⏳

Whether it’s made of timber, steel, or concrete, the lintel keeps things sturdy and sound. 💪 So, the next time you admire your windows, remember: it’s the lintel holding it all together!

If you’ve ever had a roof replaced or repaired, you’ve probably heard the term sarking. But what exactly does it mean? 🤔

Sarking is a protective layer installed underneath your roof to provide an extra barrier against moisture, wind, and heat. It helps keep your home cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and more energy efficient year round. 🌞❄️

✅ Benefits of Sarking:

Prevents water infiltration 🌧️

Improves insulation 🌡️

Protects against condensation

Extends the lifespan of your roof ⏳

It’s the unsung hero of your roof, working behind the scenes to keep your home safe and comfortable. 🏠✨
