Granite counters and ceramic floor tiles

[emily3]

Hello,
I am renovating a 1973 Silvercrest and would very much like to know
whether I will have a problem due to weight of Granite /Quartz
counters ( its a large open kitchen). AND whether I can also add Ceramic / Porcelin flooring.
Thanks SO much for any help on these two issues

Look for the weight of a square foot of granite and multiply out the size, and compare with the weight of laminate counter. If it's significantly bigger for granite, look for laminate counter that has the look you want. Check out Corian and other materials as well if the weight of granite's just too out there.
