Can u use ceramic floor tiles to tile walls for a kitchen back splash?

Answers:

1Yes, it just harder to work with than 4x4 tiles. Two things. Think how you are going to end the runs. What I mean is the cut or factory edge. Does the tile have a matching bullnose. Then may need some metal trim. Some call it Schlüter, but that's a company name, not the actual product. The other thing caulk between the existing countertop and new tile. Grout will just pop out eventually.
