    How can I tell if my floor is structurally secure?

    I’ve read that one requirement for installing a timber floor is that the floor needs to offer structural support to the contents of the room along with the weight of the floor and its users. How do I know for sure that my floor will achieve this? What ways can I measure this exactly? Will I know based on the product itself and once it is installed correctly?
