[QUOTE="Gazolzwurf, post: 983675, member: 57612"] Why? Just because they're ceramic and they're designated as a floor tile? Spec sheet for those tiles shows they're good for 600N to ISO-13006:2018 UNE-EN 14411:2016 specifications and when you consider the block walls in your house (if you have block walls) are rated at 7N or 3.6N if they're thermalites then those particular ceramic tiles are relatively strong, and the OP would be laying on a screeded concrete substrate so if he wants to lay them based on those specs then that's up to him and chances are they'll be absolutely fine. Text books are there for guidance but that guidance doesn't always suit a real world situation which is why we adapt a situation to suit the needs. [EDIT] I've misread the spec sheet for those tiles; The breaking strength of the tile is actually 1275N, not 600N, and that equates to over 286 lbs of force. If we look at standards in the states, ANSI requires a break strength of at least 250lbs for floor tiles and these tiles surpass that rating. [/QUOTE]
