My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

marble

13 years ago
I just need an advice. Is it a problem to use marble in the bathroom? I am planning to reno my master bathroom and would love to utilize all marble (carrara or satuarietto). But the samples I brought home seem to be extremely porous( soaks water in minutes). Is this normal or I should be searching a different vendor?

    You should consider using a solid surface product. They are amazing.

    Thank you. Could you suggest some?

    Do you have photos of the shower and the tile sizes used? Did you use the herringbone on the floor or the wall? Thank you.

    Can you explain what you mean by solid surface product?
