Tumbled marble or matte glazed porcelain shower floor tile???
9 years ago
We are building a modern farmhouse and I need advice on shower floor tile. The walls are 4"x16" glossy, white subways. Do I go w the care free plain Jane warm grey 2"x2" mosaic or the textured tumble marble 2"x2" mosaic??? I think the marble texture would contrast the glossy tiles to look modern but I'm super worried about taking care of them... and I've heard our water stains reddish by the neighbors... but wouldn't it stain both tiles? I have no idea what to do, love the marble but not the price or worries of it. HELP please ! Anyone have tumbled marble from daltile?
