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.
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?
