Default Tile cement question?

We are extending the floor tiles up the wall. Question - can the same
tile cement be used on the wall as was used on the floor or is a
different product - i.e. something a bit more "sticky" required for
fixing the "floor" tiles up a wall? As they are floor tiles they are a
little thicker and heavier than normal wall tiles. Any advice please?

In view of the heavier tiles, I'd use a wall adhesive, with the larger
comb spreader to give a bit more depth. The floor adhesives I've used are
too dense and heavy for walls, high cement content I think.


I'm currently tiling my bathroom with 60 x 30cm tiles - they're heavy ! I am
using "Heavy Duty Non-Slip Tile Adhesive" for this, as recommended by the
man in the store, and it is absoluely fine. In fact, so good is it, that
you've got about 1 minute maximum to position the tile, and then there ain't
no way the bugger's coming off ...

Right, that sounds like what I need. Thanks.
