I am remodeling my kitchen and will be reinstalling my spiral staircase. Can I install it directly on top of the new ceramic tile flooring?
The tiles are 12" x 24" ceramic tiles and will be installed on a crawl space foundation of 2 x 10 joists spaced 16 inches on center with 23/32 tongue and groove plywood over lapped with 19/32 plywood and 1/4 hardiebacker board subfloor. Should this be sturdy enough or will the tile and or grout crack?

Yes, you can install the spiral staircase directly on the new ceramic tile flooring. Just ensure that the subfloor is stable and well-anchored. If the staircase is properly supported and the tiles are installed correctly, it should be sturdy enough to avoid cracking the tile or grout.

Version 0.9.9j - 10.25.2024
- Added a vertical offset parameter for deck fascia/wrap.
- Added an air gap parameter for deck fascia/wrap.
- Changed the deck "wrap" to deck "fascia in the menus.
- Enabled deck/floor fascia independent of floor sheathing or deck boards.

Version 3.7.5 - 10.23.2024
- Added the following (9 - low poly) Simpson post caps to the post module: LPC4_4, LPC4_6, LPC4_8, LPC6_4, LPC6_6, LPC6_8, PC4, PC6, PC8

The post module now has 86 post caps and 65 post bases within its built-in library.  I think I've modeled about 75% of the Simpson Strong-Tie's Wood Construction Connectors Catalog at this point.

Version 3.7.4 - 10.22.2024
- Added the following (27 - low poly) Simpson post caps to the post module: 1616HTQ_8, 1616HTQ_6, BC8, BC6, BC4, BC46, RTC44, LCE4_64, LCE4_46, LCE4_6, LCE_4, AC4R_4R, ACH6_8, ACH6_4, ACH6_6, ACH6E_8, ACH6E_4, ACH6E_6, ACH4E_6, ACH4E_4, ACH4_6, ACH4_4, AC6_4, AC4_6, AC4_4, AC6_6, AC6R_6R

Version 0.9.9i - 10.22.2024
- Added the following layers/tags to the global settings and deck module.




Two different floor assemblies adjacent and forming one deck.  Where they contact I've removed the overhangs, wrap and trim (on one assembly) using the new features recently added.  Maybe there is enough functionality now to actually create some real decks.
