Question

Can I use linoleum floor tiles on walls?

Answer 1

If you mean the peel-n-stick variety, I don't see why not.  Make sure the wall is clean and flat (no raised s***w holes, etc).  My only concern would be slippage.  I would start at the bottom, brace something heavy up against it (flush), then work your way upward.  

They can have a variety of uses, I suppose.  I used them to cover a bathroom counter top during a low budget make-over.  I had extra tiles and an ugly vanity.

Answer 2

u could, but why

Answer 3

As I usually do I'll answer this "Can I?" Q with,,,Certainly. Why you might want to is a mystery, but it's your place.

  I am always baffled by seeing LINO questions, wondering if it still exists, WHY???

  Certainly the adhesive used can be the same as one would use on a floor, and you should expect damage to the substrate if you ever choose to remove it. Actually, for a more rapid, cleaner application I have a suggestion.

   When I'm asked to install peel and stick, which I try to shy away from. I use a water based contact cement. DuPont manufactures a brand of it. What I buy is a light aqua color, the consistency of milk, brushes on easily, drys more rapidly than lacquer based, is as effective, and initially cleans up with water.

   While I don't understand at all why anyone would want to,,, yes you can.

Just my two "sense"

Answer 4

You probably can but you'll need a different adhesive than that used for floors.

Removal will damage the sheetrock.

Answer 5

I would think so. actually I was thinking about the very same thing the other day while cleaning my walls underneath cabinets
