Hi. This is such a great forum!
I'm about to put a wet room into my (upstairs) bathroom. I'm a newbie homeowner and this is my first big renovation project, so I'm really nervous about buying the right materials. I'm getting some conflicting advice regarding travertine tile and wondered if you could set me straight, please?
I have a pro-installer coming to do the tanking/tiles. He tells me to avoid anything porous (like travertine.)
The guy at the tile shop has told me to buy whatever I want, so long as I seal it properly.
So who is correct? If I go with travertine, how often should I expect to seal it?
Also, is there any reason for/against mosaic tiles on the floor? (I just wondered if the slope to the drain will make them difficult to install or just generally not a good idea.)
Thank you so much for any advice. I really appreciate it!
