Plaster the surface of the floor to be tiled with a wood finish and complete the rendering and curing at least two weeks prior to tiling. DO NOT FIX TILES ON FRESH FLOOR. Before fixing the tiles, lay them out in the desired pattern and make sure that they give an acceptable blend of colour and design. Also make sure that the tiles are acceptable to your satisfaction. Pleas note that certain amount of shade & size variation is inherent in all ceramic products. THE COMPANY WILL BEAR NO LIANILITY AFTER THE TILEA ARE FIXED. The Company bears no responsibility towards the tiles exposed to any outside processes like transfers, printing, firing etc. For fixing floor tiles, we recommend the use of BAL-ENDURA tile fixing adhesives. For best results, Follow the instructions provided along with the adhesive. For fixing floor tiles using sand cement, follow the instruction given below.a.Use cement and sand mortar in the ratio of 1 : 3. Add some water to create a consistent paste. DO NOT USE NEAT CEMENT FOR FIXING TILES.b.Once the mixing has been completed, do not add any further water and use the same within one hour.c.Soak the tiles in clean water for at least 30 minutes before fixing. d.Remove the tiles from the water and allow them to drain to ensure that there is no film of water on the surface.e.Apply the bedding material evenly and tap it firmly back into position to ensure proper contact between the tile and floor.

I would not recommend it. It will not bond properly. You will have to install an appropriate sub-floor, then install the tile on that
