Try to weigh the tile before the lads come on the site tonight, a metre of small tiles is the same as 1 metre of (say) 300 x 200. Thickness and density of a tile determine the weight not the actual size. John | ||||||||||

Most membranes accept the same weight as what the substrate can carry.......but if in doubt then check with the manufacture........ | ||
