A 125 pound woman with high heels?
Measured in pounds per square inch, (PSI), a car has a load of 28 to 30 PSI, an elephant 50 to 100 PSI, and a 125 pound woman with high heels, when she takes a step and those hit the floor, 2,000 PSI! That’s a problem for any floor, metal, bamboo, wood, ceramic, carpet, terrazzo and resilient. Stiletto high heels are popular and all customers should be made aware that bamboo floors may be damaged by the extreme force involved. Dentition will occur from the heels themselves, and even more so from protruding nail heads. An exposed nail head can exert a force of 8,000 PSI! High enough to pulverize hardened concrete. Those heels!
