Hi all
I am building a combined TV unit and bookshelf in my 1940's house. After doing some quick sums it the unit will conservatively weigh around 200 kg + books/tv etc (allow another 100kg) bringing it to 300 kg in total. The unit will cover a floor area of 1.4 m2 (2.4m wide x 0.6 m deep).
Do you think I need to be concerned about floor loading with this unit? and if so what could i do to mitigate the floor load.
I found a reference to the current NZ building code stating that floors should be designed for max 300 kg/m2. My house is 1940's on timber piles and rimu floor boards.
any help would be much appreciated
Cheers
