Marble tiles to a first floor bathroom

[Cappuccino cath]

Hi and thank you for letting me post a question!

I would like to ask anyone out there for comments/advice concerning a small project. I am in the throws of tracking down marble wall tiles that would cover a bathroom area of aprox 26 square metres (allowing for damage/breaks). The intention is to tile a bathroom floor to ceiling in a period property. The walls (below)are load bearing, and the house is in superb condition. What I would like to know is there a total weight limit to a first floor room ( the floor will not be tiled) and at 26 square metres each tile will be 305mm x457mm x 12mm. Obviously there will be the usual bathroom pieces (bath, basin and WC and shower unit). I could do with some help to determine what the weight considerations are allowing for materials etc... Thanks !!!

You can buy lightweight marble sheets now with a fixing system that are only 3 & 4mm. Another thing you can do is weigh the tile you have and post back on here the weight and dimensions so we can do the calcs for you
