Floor Tiles?
Some of the marble/Granite tiles are not much more expensive than porcelline type. Is there any other reason than the price, that I may not want to put marble/Granite tiles on my kitchen floor.
Maintenance and durability. Natural stone needs to be sealed, not so with manufactured products. I'd also like to point out that I find natural stones quite slick, even in a honed finish. If you want it, go for it. Ask around and find out what someone who installs this thinks too.
One other consideration is if its' consistent with the value of your house. I didn't think granite counter tops would be for my house. So I did tile instead. It was a tenth the cost.
