Hi I have a bathroom to tile in my house and went to look at tiles/stone.
I liked the look of marble (browny one without much swirl/contrast - quite subtle) and a pale limestone.
How hard are these to lay ? (upstairs over joists/ply floor).
Someone told me that marble was soft and cold so might not be ideal for a bathroom.
It's a bit more than the limestone but am doing all the work myself so thought the cost isn't too bad and hopefully it'll last a while.
Any horror stories with marble in bathrooms ?
Hard to cut ? Fragile ? Scratches oer time ?
Is limestone easier to work with ?
Is it harder wearing or is this not an issue in a bathroom ?
I liked the travertine as well but wanted something a bit different and seem to see alot of travertine around these days.
Thanks
Ed
