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.

Would you recommend sandstone for a shower area?

2 years ago
My local design store is trying to talk me out of it because of potential for staining and high maintenance, but I love the look! How did you seal this?

    Thanks for your inquiry! The stone has held up great with the initial sealant in a matte finish. We don't have the brand the tile installer used, but would recommend you defer to your installer. good luck!
