Default Wall vs floor tiles

That depends on what is against or near the sides of the machine, some
machines do wobble a lot at spin time with off centre loads, but this can
also happen with rubber feet on a floorboarded kitchen like mine!

Hi folks, just a quick question. I am planning to put two tiles on
the floor to level the washing machine. I have found two wall tiles.
Can I use them or are wall tiles not as strong as floor tiles?

All depends on the tile. The standard thin wall tiles are not very
strong in bending, but I'd expect them to be OK in that sort of
application. Doesn't the washing machine have adustable feet, though?
They are sometimes not so obvious on modern machines.


1. The tiles I found are the same thickness as the floor tiles. Is it
only thickness that counts, no difference in composition? 2. The
plumber says the altitude difference is too much for the feet and
levelling the floor would be recommended. 3. I am thinking about
putting some vinyl under the feet as well for cushioning. Is this
sensible?
