Once again I'm back for help...We are working on a bathroom floor (5' x 3.5' + under toilet), and want to lay ceramic tiles. The styles and colors that we have found that we like all seem to come in 12 X 12 floor tiles, and 6 X6 wall tiles. Since the flooring area is small we think the larger tiles would look funny. What would be the problems with putting wall tile on the floor? :confused:

Hi
Wall tile on the floor won't hold up very well...not a good idea. It has a very soft base and glaze, and would wear out/and or crack. If the tile shop you visited, didn't have what you liked, then shop around....better to have exactly what you want.
