    Default Wall tile for bathroom floor?

    Hi

    Just wondering if it is ok to use a wall tile on the floor?

    Just bought 6 m2 of Starcross Mid Grey Tile 248mm x 398mm (from tactile by Studio Conran range) to use on the wall and floor because preferred it to the floor tile in the same range.

    Just wondering if I am going to have to send them back.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Clare

    Is this tile ceramic or porcelain?

    They're ceramic, about 8mm thick.

    I would say no, unless solid substrate and solid bed. Then I would still say no Dust pressed or porcelain on floors. A glazed ceramic will traffic badly on a floorsorry.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Will get the floor tiles from the range to be on the safe side.

    Cheers
