I have built a shower/steam room and it is ready for tile but I am having a heck of a time deciding what to use. I know I want natural stone tile and I like some limestome tiles for the fossils inside but I am concerned that limestone is not durable enough for a shower wall. Usually I see marble for this type of installation. (granite, I am not particularly interested in).
Is it allright to use limestone or travertine (filled) for showers or should I focus on Marble. Of course anything I use will be sealed with appropriate products.
Also has anybody put a honed surface tile on a shower wall. Should I stay with polished surface to make it easier to clean or does it really matter after sealing.
