I have had to give endless customers the max loading weights of tiles/substrates. Thicker and heavier tiles seem to be getting more and more fashionable and the guys that sell the tiles dont seem to keen on putting the customers off using them, its down to the professional fixer to advise on suitable tile and substrate.

If the customer wants 20mm natural stone put on skimmed plasterboard......what would you do ????
