Laying wall tiles on bathroom floor

[oska]

What's the view on doing this? I have a load of wall tiles left over and would like to use them on the bathroom floor. They are good quality Italian tiles about 10-12mm thick with a matt finish. Can it be done?

Thanks

I laid the same wall tiles both on the wall and floor in my bathroom. The tiles on the floor are fine (ie, not too slippery). It might depend on the exact type of tile as the ones I have are not the really shiny ones (ones with a shiny glaze). Also, I think you can buy some clear liquid stuff that you spread on tiles to make them non slip.

BTW. The Mrs is Italian and I make frequent trips over there. I notice that in many bathrooms over there they use the really shiny tiles on the floor which I imagine get pretty slippery whe wet but it doesn't seem to particularly bother any one over there.....Maybe we are just over cautious in the UK.
