Ceramic floor tiles and very heavy weights

kreid · 1 Aug 2006

I want to place a very heavy upright piano on a ceramic tiled floor and I am concerned that the tiles may not be able to take the load. I intend to use castor cups and the load through each cup will be of the order of 70kg.

Will the tiles take it or should I spread the load further using wooden board or metal plate.

Provided the tiles are on a solid floor and have been stuck with a solid bed of adhesive then there should not be a problem, if they are on a timber floor or there are voids under the tiles then you will have problems.
