Hi, looking at a revamp. Got one chap extolling the virtues of natural stone and another saying porcelain is the way to go. Any comments on the pro's and con's of each of these options?
Will probably source from Marsahlls of Brett or similar ilk
Thanks

Wouldn't porcelain tiles be very slippery when wet?

We have porcelain.
Very clean lines and nice and easy to clean down without fear of stains affecting the natural stones.
But they do get slippy when wet.
Overall I think I would stick with Porcelain if I was to do it again, but I would prob cast a solid concrete base first then use tile adhesive to stick them down. As it was hard work laying them with a full wet bed.
