| Hi.
We've create steel loft to add floor space. Loft is made up of steel frame. For some strange reasons, we are finding that bottom of beams are always warm.Loft was built about 4 months ago. I'd really appreciate if you could help me identify the problem. Please download pictures and floor plans for our loft area using this link.
1. Nirmal.jpg file shows overall layout of two loft plans. One is Workers Loft and other one is Manager/meeting loft. The problem of base heating is with smaller (management) loft.
"Img_0001.jpg" shows the loft and and support in far view. The one very close to camera is not a problem. You will see smaller loft is supported by about 5 beams embedded in wall and one round steel pipe in middle. "Img_0002.jpg", "Img_0038.jpg", "Img_0039.jpg", "Img_0046.jpg", "Img_0048.jpg", "Img_0073.jpg" & "Img_0018.jpg"shows the complete structure with problem. "Img_0031 (1).jpg" shows view from top. Base of this round steel pipe shows maximum heat effect. All other beams in this structure show heat effect to certain extent. "Img_0031.jpg" shows section of support. IMG_0880[1].JPG , IMG_0882[1].JPG, IMG_0883[1].JPG shows the cover of tiles of same section. 5. Some elimination of possibilities. a. I touched the walls at joint of horizontal and vertical beams, but could not find any heat there.
Please let me know if you need any other information to help dissect this problem. Also, if you have any comment about stability of structure, it would be easier to fix now than later. Thanks for all your help. |
