Q:Can you use this tile under a 430 lb pellet stove? I am not worried about the heat, I'm worried about the weight on the 4 legs of the stove cracking the tile.

Answer This Question
A: This slate tile handles up to 300 lbs. but can't support a 430-pallet stove. Consider MSI Arterra 2cm Porcelain Pavers for heavy loads. They offer high slip resistance and withstand up to 2000 lbf per tile. Verify with a local contractor for suitability due to varying local conditions, especially when placing a heavy dining table.Thank you for your interest in MSI Montauk Black 12 in. x 24 in.

Q:Since slate has some natural highs and lows, they won't all be exactly the same 10 mm. How does that work for a floor? Will the floor have high and low corners where tiles meet? Wanting to lay in herringbone pattern w/ 1/8-inch grout. Thanks.
