No Slate in Master Bathroom Redo





Before Photos

















Natural stone slate in showers is high maintenance and shouldn't be recommended if you want your customers to appreciate your design advice and their investment. Removing all the black slate and replacing with porcelain tile made this bathroom much easier to care for.

Natural slate tile, it's beautiful, warm, and inviting. It is also very porous and has irregular edges which makes it high maintenance when it comes to cleaning. I never recommend slate in a shower due to the fact that it won't stay beautiful for very long. There are porcelains available that look like slate that could be used to achieve the same look but are much easier to clean. If you have to use slate in the shower, try using it as a border or deco dot higher on the shower walls.
