I am considering doing this in my master shower and have had the tile places tell me they don't recommend limestone on a shower floor. Any advice you have would be great. thanks!

Hi Karianne!! We have used limestone for several years in the homes we build. I selected limestone in 3 of my own bathroom showers. Limestone does require regular maintenance which we provide to our clients and we have not had an unhappy homeowner to date. In todays marketplace, you can find engineered tiles that look just like the real thing and require very little maintenance. You can easily get the look with manufactured tile...however you will not get the feel. Good luck with your selection.
