Possibly, you should speak to the manufacturer or check their website as there might be good reasons why it is qualified as wall only.
1)The glaze might not be strong enough for flooring and could wear off.
2)Since this is a ceramic wall tile it could crack when used on the floor.

∙ 11y agoMost houses have a plywood floor 5/8" You need the floor to be 1" thick minimum and the top floor is screwed down to subfloor with 6" spaces Joint are even tighter together with the screws. Now a concrete slurry called a float is laid on top and leveled out and allowed to dry hard. 2 or 3 days. Usually the tile layer does this work as he is the one that has to put tiles down on top of it so they don't crack or lift. Normally heating wires are laid before the float so that they are immersed in the concrete and the floor is always warm...as you control it by thermostat. Ask a lot of questions at a tile store. You need a diamond saw for most floor tiles...so that is a few bucks. Let them do it. and save yourself the pain. Cost of tile is going to be the same so you are hiring the tile setter for his knowledge and equipment to do it right.

Not sure how exact you neeed to be, but the thickness & the density would be unknowns from your question & they will both impact the answer. A 6X6 wall tile will be less than floor tile & thick tile likely more than thinner. But if you use 8-10 ounces per 6X6 floor tile you will be very close. Add thinset & grout & still more variables crop up. That is if it is really ceramic, travertine, porcelain or Saltillo would all be different too.
