The tile I'm looking at is Grade 1 with a PEI rating of IV which seems like it will be fine for floor use. BTW I have about 30+ tile jobs under my belt and have never had an issue using ceramic on floors. I'm just always concerned with buying HD sh!t...but the price is so damn right..I figured I'd ask...
Ahhh, I was reading the sheet wrong. My bad...

FWIW I'd still try and go a little better. I don't trust HD on stuff like that, while they do sell some quality products I've always found much of their building materials to be of lower quality. You're in Florida, I'd think tile shops would be as common as pawn shops

Have you looked at a local tile shop? I'd think they could get you into something in between.
