I am interested in the Marmoleum planks. I will be installing it over a wood subfloor. My question concerns the density of the planks. In the room will be two steel production tables on casters that weigh about 500 lbs each. Do I need to be concerned about these planks dimpling under the weight of these tables? Also, will the planks stay flat and in place after repeated moving of the tables over time? SAMPLE - Forbo Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc Seal, Cork Tree Waterproof Click - Floating

500 lbs / 4 casters = 125 lbs each. That should not be an issue. However, if you want to be certain, we recommend using some plastic or wooden spacers/sliders that will spread the load. If these are being moved every day and the subfloor is not perfectly flat, then it might be better to use the Marmoleum sheeting. We offer samples of both sheeting and click cinch loc so you can test for yourself before purchasing.
