quartzite in a bathroom shower

Hi Maurizio I am looking at 1 x 6 brick quartzite tile(shower floor) and 4x4 quartzite tile (shower wall). Would you use quartize in a shower? If so do you seal quartzite? Will the bottom part of the shower (floor and walls) where the water hits look darker/wet as compared to the higer parts of the shower stall. Would a shower in natural stone tend to mold more than a shower of porclein tile

 

Dear Joan:

 

“ Would you use quartize in a shower? ”

 

Only if they pay me lots of money to get it. After that, instead of installing it in my shower, I would try to sell the stuff on eBay!

 

“ Would a shower in natural stone tend to mold more than a shower of porclein tile ”

 

First off, it depends on the natural stone you select. Second, and even more important, it depends on the installation. In the almost totality of instances, when there's a development of mildew, it is because of a faulty installation – not the stone itself.

 

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?
