Care and cleaning of Pebbled tiled showers

9 years ago
I'm considering using a pebble tile in our new master shower basin. I'm wondering a few things before I dive in. First, what is the clean-ability factor, with so much grout inbetween the stones does it get moldy/dirty? Does the tile drain well in a shower floor or does the water just pool?

Is it comfortable to stand on with bare feet or does it get uncomfortable?

Thanks for any experienced feedback.

    Great questions. Product is natural stone so cleaning is comparable to most natural stones so there but the grout filed is larger so a good sealer like 511 Impregnator is critical for making maintenance easy.

    Comfort under foot is subjective. Some folks with sensitive feet dont care for it. Me, I think it feels great- like a subtle foot massage.
