If the area was designed as living space then you can move the kitchen without any problem. The appliances are not as heavy as you think they are and the cabinets spread any extra weight over a larger area.
: I just purchased a home on slab. The current kitchen is downstairs. We want to move the kitchen upstairs
: to the second floor. The set-up would be similar to a split-level ranch (bedrooms downstairs) Living room, kitchen
: and family room upstairs. My question is, will we need to re-enforce the floor upstairs if we move the kitchen
: to this location due to the weight of the applicances and cabinets?
