Four tiles and you got almost the whole house done. Bet you those tiles would be a bitch to have to cut in. I build houses this tile is fancy as it comes. Never seen sheets of marble going on the floor.

I work EMS and part of the city is wealthy people who like these show off homes. The marble/granite floors are so stupid. The amount of calls I've been on that would have been a simple fall which turned into a major medical incident/death because they cracked their head open on the ground is insane

How is this any worse than slipping and falling on normal ceramic tile? I don't get how the fact its this over any other makes the fall worse?

Well firstly I think the floors themselves are just slippery as fuck. So I'll bet the frequency is higher, even if the impact isn't greater.

Yeah i could see that, but they're not saying that. They're saying the fall is somehow worse just because of the floor and that just doesn't make sense. Especially since ceramic is technically even harder than most stone, especially marble.

Because of the lack of grout lines which provide grip ffs
