My brother is going to fully tile my bathroom using travertine stone ( which was a bit of a bargain !) Anyway, I was just wandering is there any chance that the weight of all this stone could cause any problems to the structure of the house ? My house is a brick and block type construction and is an end of terrace with the bathroom upstairs. They have taken the block wall back to the block work but the other walls are plasterboard.. I am wandering if ceramic would have been the more sensible option. does anyone know exactly what the weight difference is between stone / ceramic ? I think they have got about 26 M sq. of the stuff including the floor that is.
