Probably yes, but it depends on the exact labeling on that mortar, and what kind of tile and wall surface you have. Check to see what kinds of tile (ceramic, porcelain, travertine, etc.) it sticks to, and what size of tile. Also see what kinds of substrates it's approved for. Substrate is the surface to which you want to attach the tile. If the bag says it sticks to cementious backerboard, and you have tile backerboard on the walls, then it's good to go.
Tiles used on floors tend to be thicker than wall tiles. Also, floor tiles are subjected to flexing as people walk over them. Therefore, if floor tiling a wooden floor, use a flexible cement adhesive and grout designed to give and take without cracking.
I wouldn't recommend it. Most wall tiles are very smooth and wouldn't have any grit for the thin-set to adhere to.
You can use thin-set on the wall, just like the floor. The trowel size is different though. A latex modified thin-set with 3/16 x 5/32 V - notch trowel is most common for tile up to 12" on the wall.
I am not an expert but from experience selling tiles the following are guidelines: 1. The type of surface determines how much cement to use 2.The quality of cement will also affect ratio 3.The area to be tiled e.g. wall or floor determines the quantity on average 2-3 squares meters will require one 20Kg tile adhesive
Using sanded grout instead of tile mortar can lead to several issues. Sanded grout is designed for filling joints between tiles rather than adhering tiles to a substrate, which can result in poor bond strength and instability of the tiles. This may cause tiles to crack, shift, or come loose over time. It's essential to use the appropriate materials for their intended purposes to ensure a durable and long-lasting installation.
For installing wall tiles, it is recommended to use thin-set mortar.
No.
No, it is not recommended to use wall tile on the floor for a home renovation project as wall tiles are typically not designed to withstand the weight and foot traffic that floor tiles are subjected to. Using wall tiles on the floor may result in cracking or breaking over time. It is best to use floor tiles specifically designed for that purpose.
For installing tiles on a bathroom floor, it is recommended to use a modified thinset mortar that is suitable for wet areas.
To properly install tile in your bathroom, you need to prepare the surface by cleaning and leveling it. Then, apply thin-set mortar to the floor or wall and press the tiles into place. Use spacers to ensure even spacing between tiles. Allow the mortar to dry completely before grouting the tiles. Finally, seal the grout to protect it from moisture and stains.
To effectively lay tiles on a concrete floor, follow these steps: Clean and prepare the concrete surface by removing any debris or dust. Apply a layer of thin-set mortar to the floor using a trowel. Place the tiles on the mortar, pressing them firmly into place. Use spacers to ensure even spacing between tiles. Allow the mortar to dry completely before grouting the tiles. Apply grout between the tiles, wiping off excess with a damp sponge. Seal the grout to protect it from stains and moisture.
To lay ceramic tiles on a concrete floor, first clean and prepare the surface. Apply a layer of thin-set mortar using a trowel, then place the tiles in a desired pattern. Use spacers to maintain even spacing between tiles. Allow the mortar to dry completely before grouting the tiles. Finally, seal the grout to protect it from stains and moisture.

One might apply ceramic wall tiles by using either of 2 products: tile mastic or thinset mortar. The application process is the same for both products. One could use a V-notched trowel to spread some of the mortar onto the wall, covering an area just big enough to lay in about 8 tiles.
