Why is cast marble better than tile?
The old saying with tile is “not if it will leak, but when.” One must understand that water can get into the smallest cracks. Tile showers are beautiful but require a high level of maintenance. Tile showers have many seams. These seams are filled with grout that must be sealed often. Cast marble is installed in larger pieces, eliminating many unnecessary seams and joints, and never uses grout. Cast marble uses a 100% silicone sealer to seal all joints and never needs an additional sealer applied. It is non-porous and impervious to mold, mildew, and bacteria.
