Stone floor in shower

Does it drain well? I see water getting trapped.

    Love these and considering using them on the floor, when I redo the shower.
    My understanding is that you grout them just like any tile floor. So there should be no more worry of water getting under them than anything else.

    Pebble Tiles are perfect for shower floors. The easy of drainage is dependent on slope, the grout job and the leveling of the individual stones (as needed) when installing the tile. Since the stones are hand selected most of the stones are pretty close to the same height, which makes it easier.

    Is there a clear grout that would make the stones look like they are in water?

    They make High Gloss Sealant that will make the tile appear shiny and as they do wet.

    Are the pebbles comfortable to stand on and are they slippery?

    They do not protrude or poke, but standing on rounded rock pebbles vs sliced flat pebbles is a preference issue...I cannot say whether they will be comfortable for you.

    I would recommend ordering a sample and standing on it to see how it feels underfoot.

    The tile is not slick but you can add grip additive to the sealant if slippage is a concern.

    Thank you, that sounds like a reasonable solution

    I love the bali glazed tile and really want to put it in our bath but am concerned about the install with round stones and uneven edging.How problematic is this type of tile to install as far as getting a straight line on edges?Is it best to try to fill in the gaps with a proportional pebble or is it best to try and cut to fit them for the edging gaps because of the roundness in the stones?

    It is a matter of preference and I have seen this installed both ways. You can cut the stones with a wet saw and diamond cut blade or leave free form and fill in with smaller stones.
