No, it is one of the most common stones in one. It asks for a sealer and gentle cleaners. What ruins marble is acidic cleaning products, not water.
Honed or polished marble for a bathroom floor?+
Honed. It is matte, less slick underfoot and it hides the dull spots that water leaves. Polished marble belongs on walls and vanity tops.
Which marble is best for a small bathroom?+
A pale stone with quiet veining, like a white or light grey marble in a larger format. Fewer grout lines and less movement make the room read bigger.
How do I stop water spots on marble?+
Seal the stone, squeegee the shower after use and clean with a pH neutral product. Spots that remain are usually mineral deposits from hard water and lift with a stone safe descaler.
Marble Bathroom Tile
Marble sized and finished for bathrooms: honed and polished field tiles from 12x12 to 24x48, plus hexagon, herringbone and basketweave mosaics for shower floors and accent bands. White and grey lead the range, with beige and green through the middle.
Honed is the practical finish in a bathroom. It is matte, it hides water marks and it gives more grip than polished stone. Save polished marble for walls, vanities and niches where it catches light without being walked on.
Seal the stone before the first use and clean it with a pH neutral product. Skip vinegar, lemon and bleach based sprays, which etch marble in a way no sealer prevents.
