Vinyl floor tiles suitable for wall also?

Designator

Hi all,

Currently trying to freshen up my bathroom on a budget. I previously used vinyl floor tiles like Ive linked below and found them to be so easy to install and incredibly durable and look fantastic too. Now Im looking to do the walls of my bathroom so Im wondering seeing as there vinyl tiles are so good on the floor do you think it would make a difference to also use them on the walls? Dont fancy trying to find a tiler to charge me a few thousand when I can get the desired effect myself using these? Anyone used these for walls or what do you think ?

Just make sure your walls are level and smooth and there should be no issue. In general any tile or other covering suitable for a floor can also be used on a wall.

I have use LVT tiles on backsplash area in counter that were left over from floor, not the peel and stick type but put on with adhesive. They are fine, look great, were easy to do and do the job. Agree for the peel and stick which are usually thinner you need very level surface, I have done two floors with them, one timber, one concrete and definitely should have put levelling compound on the concrete one but they are good enough!

Are you putting them on over existing tiles?

If so, depending on the size of the tiles, the wall may be too uneven. Also, the pattern of the tiles will probably bleed through.

@designator just wondering if you went ahead with these tiles on your bathroom wall. Currently looking at something similar for a bathroom half tiled wall and these peel and stick would be ideal. Wondered if they are hard vinyl type where you cut and snap them compared to the other type which look to have a foil backing. Want something looking that would feel and look a bit more realistic. How are they holding up a year on, did any pattern came through. Also did you grout between the tiles. Tia

I went ahead with this and it came out perfect, I used the vinyl tiles that already have a adhesive backing on them but I also used no more nails on them to ensure they stick, no grout or anything. Worked perfect
