Should floor tiles not be used on upper floors?
Thread Content
A friend has been renovating recently, and I heard that it’s not advisable to use floor tiles on upper floors. Is there any truth to that? I’m seeking advice from everyone.
There is absolutely no such thing; many high-rise residential buildings do use floor tiles. It’s just that in high-rise office buildings, due to considerations related to the building’s status and functional requirements, less expensive floor tiles are not chosen. I’m worried that using tiles on the exterior walls might be unsafe, as there’s a risk of them falling and hurting people! I think so! ! !
There is absolutely no such thing, and there’s no scientific basis for it at all! I’m not sure how high you mean by ‘upper levels’ An apartment in an elevator building?
I don’t think there’s such a rule; you can use anything for interior decoration, even marble.
A friend who works in civil engineering told me something to that effect. . (Only discussing interior decoration) My understanding is that, relatively speaking, floors give off a slightly higher sense of quality. If tiles are used, if one decides to install floors in the future due to changes in circumstances or preferences, it will be a huge task in high-rise buildings to move around or remove those few centimeters of tiles and cement; moreover, it will have a significant impact on any subsequent renovations. I’m not sure if this will be helpful to the original poster! ~! :lol
Don’t say I’m posting nonsense; I personally think it’s optional – **the law doesn’t require it.** Hehe, this post was last edited by LSD0405 on 2009-3-26 at 23:09.]
;P There are tons of floor tiles used in high-rise interior spaces – I’ve heard of this claim for the first time. Let’s also take a look at everyone’s explanations. However, using tiles on the exterior has always seemed strange to me – tiles tend to fall off due to exposure to wind and sun outdoors. Could there be some special purpose for this? When I was in school, an English teacher said he thought tiles should be used in bathrooms.
High-rise buildings have a frame structure, and even if 20 cm thick marble is laid on each floor, it does not affect the load-bearing capacity. For buildings with a brick-concrete structure, if precast cement panels are used for the floor surfaces, then avoid using too heavy bricks, as there is a risk that the structure won’t be able to bear the weight!
It’s completely fine; when designing the structure, this load is taken into account as part of the floor loads
