How much weight will the Waltons Tongued and Grooved and OSB Floors take?
A. The floor weight loading is dependent on 2 things. 1) The base structure. The firmer and more level the base in all directions the better the floor will perform. Point loading is where heavy weight is concentrated in one area i.e. stiletto heel or heavy machinery. If your building is likely to fall into this criteria or be used for heavy traffic. It is very important that the original supplied floor is strengthened with an sheet material like Ply or OSB material. 2) The material. OSB is a consistent manufactured material with none of the natural flaw and weaknesses apparent in natural material like tongued an Grooved flooring. As long as the weight is displaced OSB will give it the ability to carry greater weights.
