Wall/floor porcelain tiles. whats the difference

[52115]

Displayed in the local Homebase. 2" porcelain tiles. All of them floor/wall tiles except the ones I want which are only marked 'wall'. Same manufacturer, same range, same thickness.
They look like the same.
Had them loaded in the trolley before I noticed. Just in time.
What Im asking is, would they work on the bathroom floor.
Silly question I know, but what the hey. You never know till you ask.
Thanks.

Hi..some wall tiles are suitable as floor tiles and visa versa but it is not always visibly apparent when you look at the tile..the only way to find out for definate is to ask the supplier or contact the manufacturer direct...

Used to be you can use a floor tile for wall but don't use wall tile for the floor.

Its done in case you slip on them.

Some tiles are like an ice rink but look fantastic on the wall.

Put the same on the floor and when you step out the bath its Torvil & Dean time.

Some tiles look great on a wall but stick them on a floor and its

:behead:

differance could be finish(too smooth), load and weight bearing and also wear / scratch resistance
