Can I use these for a tile floor?

I have these stone things I find when I go to the beach. They are usually about 1 1 / 2 inches wide, 2 1 / 2 inches long and 1 / 4 inch thick. Are smooth stones with rounded edges and are usually really pale and have a kind of grain to them (but still soft) and have rounded edges. If enough I could tile a floor with them or perhaps backsplash? Besides, you know what these things are still calling?

Their stones sound like a kind of river stone. You can buy into the "tiles" 12 "X12", all united in a mesh support. They are beautiful, but extremely difficult to apply evenly to a flat. For floors you have to think security, and irregularities in the thickness can be a bit of danger - more if you're walking in socks, we run the risk of flying, because the stones are exceptionally mild indeed seem to have a natural surface polishing. They work for Backsplashes surprisingly, as you mentioned, and also for decorative purposes such as borders of the wall, and arts and crafts (photo frames, etc.). If you really want to use them in a floor, I suggest you do a border around the room with them (maybe about 6 inches wide) or using some other combination with regular tile. The epoxy-adhesives tiles are more efficient basis to ensure the latter. Make the grout will be very difficult because the shapes are so irregular. But the end result will be worth worth the trouble. Good luck!
