    Depends how big the tiles are, what substrate you are tiling to and how long you are prepared to wait before you grout.

    Unless it states it can be used for porcelain, but i wouldn't, i would use a white single part flexible designed for this product and you must also use flexible grout.

    If the tiles were smaller I would say check out Ardex D30 for WALLS ONLY. This will fix porcelain on your substrates but for tiles that size you really need to have a powder adhesive. Following on from Enduro's post, you need to be looking at a Single Part Flexible that says suitable for porcelain. Mapei Ardex and BAL all do them. You can use this on both walls and floors. What you buy really depends on what is available to you. Mapei is generally less expensive than the other 2, especially Ardex.
