                              A:  I wouldn't. Don't think it would hold up to foot traffic. Maybe a couple of tiles in a corner or something like that might be ok.

                              by|Apr 28, 2022

                                A:  Although this mat is intended to be used for vertically-applied tiles such as on backsplashes, it could probably be also used for a small area of horizontally-applied floor tiles. The only cautionary drawback would be that the rest of the floor tiles need to be on the same thickness level so that walking on them would not create a safety issue.

                                    A:  I suppose it could. I'm using it for a backsplash.

                                    by|Apr 27, 2022

                                      A:  I don't think so. The walking on the tile would pull it loose over a short period of time. This is only for wall applications.
