Large double bath in an upstairs bathroom?

Anonymous user 06/03/2024 - 2.30 PM

Im looking at getting a new bathroom and was looking at double baths, but what are the issues regarding weight and what could be done to strengthen the floor enough for one? Any help would be great cheers.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

One needs to inspect the direction of the joists in relation to the position of the bath. Their size and bearing will be critical and I'm thinking lengths of 8x2 fixed onto the existing joists centrally to where the bath is to be situated could do the job by spreading the load.
