Questions re tiles Bathroom

Can I use ceramic wall tiles for floor

Getting bathroom done up, looking to get polished porcelin

Want to use the same tiles on wall as floor

Is PP very slippy when wet

Some tile shops sell PP unsealed, others sealed, whats the difference

My tiler is v experienced tells me I can use ceramic tiles on floor, they are cheaper, so that is tempting, BTW have said ceramic may crack on floor
(per the tiler, I am putting 8mm wbp on broom floor, before tiles go in)
Either BTW are mis-leading me or tiler is,


Are PP a nighmare to drill into

Can you get a floor tile that is not polished?

Trying to think off the top of my head, but if PP is what I think it is, then you are asking for an accident to put it on the floor of a bathroom. Whatever about a kitchen, where people have shoes on, in a bathroom, there's wet floor and wet feet. (makes me cringe even thinking about it!)

Often you can get tiles the same as the walls, but with a surface on them for the floor, and they look fine. Is that an option?

The advice that I was once given was that you can put floor tiles on the walls but not wall tiles on the floor. Reason being that the wall tiles are not meant for the loading of standing on. i.e. they are lighter and may break.

Of course this is a general statement. If the specific tiles are strong enough for use as a floor tile then it would be fine, but I would get this clarified by tile supplier first.
