What is the weight per square foot for each tile type?

Our 1/2" Vitreous glass tile weighs 1.21 lbs/SF. You'll also need to budget for tile adhesive and grout. 3 lbs/SF is a conservative estimate for total weight that would be added to the wall surface. FYI, Artaic offers other tile types, with other weights. That info can be fond here: https://artaic.com/mosaic-tile/tile-type

The weight of your mosaic depends on the material it's made from

Vitreous Glass  3/8" = 1.07 lbs/SF  1/2" = 1.25 lbs/SF  3/4" = 1.34 lbs/SF    1" = 1.35 lbs/SFSintered Glass   1/2" = 1.45 lbs/SF 9/16" = 1.75 lbs/SF   1" = 1.92 lbs/SFGlazed Porcelain     1" = 3.51 lbs/SF    2" = 3.30 lbs/SF    4" = 3.33 lbs/SFNatural Stone    9/16" = 3.95 lbs/SF     1" = 4.00 lbs/SF

This is for the tile only. You'll also want to allow for the weight of and surface treatment, tile adhesive and grout. 

  • Is there a weight estimate per square foot that you can provide? The building is under construction and we need to know if the wall might require additional backing.
