Anyone have thoughts on reinforcing the subfloor for a couple safes (about 1000lbs empty)? It’s going in a 12x12 room roughly but obviously the ones under the safe are going to carry most of the dead load. Plan is to sister the joists underneath and maybe the girder(s) if needed. I know I need to see which way the joists are running, where the safes are going and if the plywood subfloor is stout but thought I’d get general thoughts on how beefy to make it. It’s old style construction, looks like 2x6 sitting on top of a 12” beam. Thoughts appreciated.
