Question

How much would apprx. 700 sg. ft. of ceramic tile weigh?

Answer 1

Each box of 15  12x12 tiles is about 50 lbs. So about 2500 lbs.

Answer 2

It depends on the tile and how thick it is.

Please excuse the formatting becauseY!A does not recognize my table format.

The thickness is given in 32nds of an inch, 8/32 is 1/4" (usually wall tile) amd 10/32 is 5/16 (usually floor tile)

8/32 2.7

So between 3/4 of a ton and 1+1/4 ton.

You need to allow for cement and grout too.
