Need help picking out bathroom tile floor

13 years ago

We want to use marble tile for the walk-in shower, but I have heard using marble on the bathroom floor is too slippery. Any ideas on what to use for the floors?

If you use smaller tiles with more grout joints that will make the floor less slippery - also there are products on the market that actually put a non-skid surface on your tile floor (it's actually worked into the tile so it would be permanent). The floor pictured would not be very slippery but say a 2'x2' tile would be.
