Can it be laid on wall tiles?

Consultas m?s frecuentes
Yes, provided that it is placed on frames fixed with deep screws reaching the coarse stucco. Notice that very often, behind wall tiles there may be a coat of plaster not firm enough for frames to be fixed on it. Nevertheless, it would be advisable to remove wall tiles because, if the wall suffers from dampness, it will probably start to come off and fall in the free space between the sheet and the wall.

What is the difference between wall and floor tiles?

Port St. Lucie, Florida Tile and Marble Contractor: Chris Bo...
Wall tiles (because they are not intended to be load bearing) are typically thinner, lighter and softer than floor tiles. Wall tile glazes are not designed to handle the abrasive forces from foot traffic. Increasingly, floor tiles are being applied to walls and this is no problem so long as the walls are strong enough to support their weight and proper ceramic tile installation methods are used. However, it is not usual to recommend using wall tiles in floor applications.
