On the other hand, mandatory rough surfaces on the floor of showers seem pretty reasonable.
- ghaff 2y agoThere's so much about showers in hotels that I hate a good proportion of the time: super-slick tiles, high step-in tubs, accompanied by no handholds. I've gotten more sensitive to this over time but even when I was much younger, nearly took spills a couple of times.
- marssaxman 2y agoThat's fair. It's one thing to tell people "don't build things in such a way that other people would be put at risk", and quite another to threaten people with punishment for choosing to take risks themselves.
- doubled112 2y agoMy friend's parents dropped a shampoo bottle in their new build, and it broke through the bathtub. I hope this rough surface will be more durable. I'm imagining some rough sandpaper layer that comes off every time you shower until it's smooth anyway. Glue is expensive, you know?
- ghaff 2y agoThere are smoother and rougher tile surfaces. When getting tile put in my house I've made something of a point of avoiding the very slickest/smoothest tile.
- aitchnyu 2y agoI feel only rocky texture will be satisfactory after a year. Or is there any chemical that can safely strip the soaps and other fatty stuff from the mineral?
- ghaff 2y agoMy roughest and lightest tile--which has to be replaced for other reasons after a couple decades in what we call a mudroom in New England--could probably be cleaned but would be a procedure. In general, darker and just somewhat textured tile seems to work pretty well in less-trafficked areas.
