onyx/marble

Maurizio, I selected honey onyx tiles in all different sizes for my bathroom and ming green/carrerra for my daughters bathroom. With each professional comes a different (and VEHEMENT)opinion on the choices. some say its fine others say I would be crazy to fill a bathroom with soft/ scratchable/stainable onyx and marble in a childs bathroom. In running out of time..HELP PLEASE! Thank you answer man! -Trish NY

 

Dear Trish:

Ming Green/Carrara?… Ming Green is from China, not Carrara (Italy). But never mind that. The fact is that there are so many stones sold as Ming Green that's not even funny. Welcome to the stone industry.

Honey Onyx is a high maintenance item. Not so with some of the Ming Greens out there, but then again… Try to google Ming Green marble and then click on “images” and you will see what I mean!!

Regardless of the material, the way a shower stall is installed (the human factor again!) and what you will learn about taking care for it are vastly more important than the material itself.
