Speed Tile Floors
Speed Tile Floors
(OP)
Does anyone have experience with speed tile floors, mostly constructed at the turn of the century. We are working on renovating a buildign for a school, the underside of the floor is speed tile. There is a 2" topping with embedded nailers. There are some concerns as 1 1/2" of floor leveler needs to be added, not to mention its been vacant for well over a decade. I heard that the construction also goes by book tile.

The articles give some load tables and construction details that might be helpful. The floors are called Tile Arch Floors, but they can be a "flat" arch too.
Perhaps your local university engineering library would have a copy of the book.
