This is relevant to me as my quite big grand piano will be shifted to this space. It weighs 468 kg and has a three point loading on three double brass castors. It will get rolled around sometimes when it is mic'ed up and so the floor needs to stand up to that.
For flooring I have three choices. It may depend what we decide to do in the main drawing room adjacent, which has the carpet that was here when we came, but is a concrete floor beneath.
I have enough tiles here to do either 22mm black limestone slabs 900mm by 600mm which is what I have laid in the kitchen and utility. These are incredibly heavy and also uneven thickness, so they were laid onto mortar. I intended to use them outside for my surplus stock. We also have a job lot of similar sized but off white milled limestone tiles, that my wife bought dirt cheap off Gumtree from people who did a self build. We have easily enough to do this room and they are easy to match for the adjacent room. They are all a consistent thickness of about 12mm I think. Or I could buy some sort of hardwood flooring or engineered laminate.
Absolutely anything that will save my back and knees is of interest to me.
