I'm not really "into" this subject as a project in my home... I just want to know how this is accomplished.
Here (USA) antique claw-foot bathtubs are becoming popular,and I am wondering how the flooring is reinforced below these tubs... I mean those darn things must weight about a half-ton... and then filled with water !
Even if the "contact" foot pattern is
6 sq inches per "claw foot" that's only
24 square inches total , to support the weight !
I know I'm gonna get the "contact you're local building inspector, and then a carpenter" post..... ...but I'm just curious how this works.
Best wishes, Dave
