[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is honed marble less slippery? I also don't like ceramic tile as it requires larger spacing between the tiles and more grout and grout started to fall out in our kitchen - a constant PITA, plus cleaning stains from it is not so much fun either. I've looked at some examples of tile and lots of it is made to look like marble, so why not just get marble? Or is the honed marble still slippery or high maintenance?[/quote] My parents have marble in parts of the foyer. One problem is that unless it is sealed very often, it is actually very hard to clean some stains. One of my kids vomited on that marble floor. Obviously we cleaned the stain immediately, but the acidity created a faint stain that did not disappear until a couple of years later when the entire floor was professionally scrubbed and resealed. I would hesitate to put it in a kitchen where you can easily get oil stains and accidental spills of lemon juice or vinegar.[/quote]
