Time soon to put new floor down in lounge, but it is a bit more involved.

This floor has to support a substantial dead weight or two - A Steinway
Concert Grand Piano that weighs in at 480kg, or about half a tonne. The
weight is, according to Steinway, evenly distributed over the three legs
i.e. 160kg per leg....


Would you be worrying if six people (each weighing 80kg) stood on your
floor in three groups of two? That would give the same weight
distribution as the piano but you probably woul dnot even give it a
thought. Maybe nothing needs to be done.
