I am buying an Edwardian end of terrace house and the bathrooms (currently carpeted) need redoing. I've ordered samples and the one I like best are coloured cement- very thick and heavy. They are floor tiles but I'm wondering about the added weight, particularly in the loft? It was converted before the current owner bought it, so though there is a bathroom there I do not know if the joists were reinforced.
My question is, are floors strong enough to support the weight of these tiles (not just the loft, the first floor bathrooms too), or will I need to reinforce them? The weight of these tiles is something - twice a normal tile I'd say. I guess I'll could take the floorboards up to check...but what have others experienced?
