Tile weight on various surfaces

[widler]

best way is to always knockoff and dot and dab straight onto backing,or re screw into timber. not always possible ofcourse. as someone said bri,just put a few screwa through into timber

As Dave said Bri

As always, if in doubt.. mechanical fix..

 

[Scott]

I always add mech fixings if i can

 

[Smudger]

I'm a belt and braces man myself. Don't want to go back later.

 

[White Room]

If you do mechanical fix don't break the surface of the paper with the head of the screw.

why do some tile manufacturing comps pile so many tiles into a box, ive just finished a floor 500x500 porcelain tile with 7 tiles per box......no wonder were all walking round with bad backs.

im sure it seems to be getting worse.

 

[Ian]

Jeez, thats nearly 2 metres in a box! I'd be taking them 3 tiles at a time, I have enough trouble with my back.

 

[Andy Allen]

tell me about it , i pick a box up and nearly keeled over.

 

[Ian]

The boxes of 600x300 porcs normally have 6 in them and thats heavy enough!
