You probably could but it would never wear as well as a faux brick laminate. You would have to seal it with a poly to protect it from moisture. It would scratch much easier than a laminate. It's not made for flooring so it doesn't have the same hardness qualities as a laminate would. You might want to consider laminate flooring instead. The money that you might have to spend on faux brick paneling might be a very comparable amount to a laminate flooring that would wear better and last longer.
Hi Brenda,
I agree with GK. My first thought was that faux wall brick will not hold up to the wear & tear that a floor receives. You'd be better off to find a laminate that is made for floors. I hope that helps. Wishing you the best.
It will probably not stand up to the wear and tear of continuous foot traffic, cleaning and washing. Look for something more sturdy.
I wouldn't recommend it. I have used them on walls and they have been fine but I think if you try it on a floor, especially in a high traffic area, it will be torn to bits. There is a new product on the market that I have been wanting to try. Stainmaster Luxury Vinyl. 9"x9" tiles. I've seen it Lowes and they have a few different designs but the product seems to replicate that Florence mosaic design that is usually found printed on antique clay tiles. It's a cheaper option that is more on trend for vinyl flooring.

It might not be your style but hopefully it helps.
