Can I use Floor Tiles for Walls?

Post by jillynetter »

Sorry if this is a daft question but the perfect tiles for me are in fact floor tiles, can these be used for my bathroom walls and shower area?
I am concerned they are heavier than a wall tile though. Size 33x33, do I have to use a stronger tile adhesive?

This will be absolutely fine, just make sure you use a good quality adhesive appropriate to the product.
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments..

Very much appreciated thankyou, so if I buy a floor tile adhesive and normal grout seperately that would be okay?

Wall tile adhesive will be better as most floor tile adhesive is for screed and wood speak to your tile supplier.
Bal is usually the best products to use.
