[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Open concept is good for builders. It's just a big box without walls. cheaper to build. It's good for homeowners that do not mind having cooking smells and noises travel through out the house. [/quote] Drafter here who posted up thread. Open concept is actually more expensive to build. A load bearing wall is much cheaper than a flush beam. Flush beams require deeper ceiling joists than a load bearing wall. Modern engineering concepts for residential housing is what allowed the application of flush beams. [/quote] I love it when experts come on here and school posters who think they know what they are talking about. LOL Almost everyone I know who has remodeled their kitchen has blown out the walls to create an open concept, and yes, with a cross beam. I know no one who has purposefully put up a wall to make the kitchen area smaller.[/quote]
