These two features are the slipperiness of marble and its porous nature. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marble Shower Floors Can Be Slippery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, marble is a naturally slippery material even without the addition of water. So, when used in showers, you need to be extra careful to avoid a nasty accident. On top of caution, there are also ways to make marble floors less slippery. We&rsquo;ll go through these in a moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, I want to point out that there are different types of marble and some may be far better suited to use in a shower than others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Every Type of Marble Is the Same<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Polished marble tiles are extremely glossy as they are made purely for aesthetic purposes. They provide only very little to no grip, making them extremely slippery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, honed marble might be a more sensible option for use on shower floors as the satin-like finish has a lot more grip. It is, therefore, more stable and easier to walk on. However, wet feet will still increase the likelihood of slipping, so you still need to be cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can read a comprehensive comparison between the two different types of marble in my article: <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/polished-vs-honed-marble-bathroom-floor\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/polished-vs-honed-marble-bathroom-floor\/\">Polished vs Honed Marble for Bathroom Floor: Which Is Best?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Stay Safe in a Slippery Shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few ways you can ensure your family&rsquo;s safety in a shower with marble floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Small Format Tiles Are Less Slippery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you desire to spruce up your bathroom by installing marble floors in your shower but are a bit wary of the tiles due to their well-known slipperiness, then perhaps consider opting for small format tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a lot of smaller dimensions of the same marble tile will give you the same aesthetic overall, but it will be a lot safer as the small format tiles are less slippery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because the breaks in the tiles provide more grip given and create some traction, which in turn reduces your chance of skidding in the shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your marble shower floor may be extra slippery because of a build-up of soap scum or other dirt on the tiles. A way to combat this is to make sure you clean your floor regularly to avoid any dirt accumulation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor.jpg\" alt=\"clean marble bathroom floor\" class=\"wp-image-14028\" width=\"705\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor.jpg.webp\" alt=\"clean marble bathroom floor\" class=\"wp-image-14028 lazyload\" width=\"705\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cleaning-marble-bathroom-floor.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Use a tile cleaner made for marble tiles (they can be sensitive to more acidic cleaners) to remove all the debris while keeping your marble tiles pristine and in good condition. A great option is the <strong><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00J75IU6A?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\">MARBLE &amp; TILE FLOOR CLEANER<\/a><\/em><\/strong> <sup><sub><em>(amazon link)<\/em><\/sub><\/sup>. Not only is it really affordable, but it also does not leave any streaks on the tiles, which could ruin the look of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply Antislip Solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;d like to be extra cautious, then I would really recommend applying an antislip treatment to your shower floor. These are transparent solutions that are applied to your tiles like paint. The solution allows for extra grip on tiles, reducing the risk of slipping in the shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can buy the treatment and apply it yourself. Depending on your shower size, you should get the job done in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The great news is that the solution does not change the appearance of your tiles, so you won&rsquo;t be compromising aesthetics for safety. Apply the solution at least once a year to ensure the utmost protection against slipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Antislip Mats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another straightforward solution to a slippery shower floor that really does not require much effort on your part is to purchase an antislip mat for the shower. These mats have numerous suction cups that adhere to the tiles, allowing the mat to grip the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to do is firmly secure it to the floor and stand on it in the shower to avoid any slippery accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat.jpg\" alt=\"antislip map\" class=\"wp-image-14029\" width=\"652\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat.jpg.webp\" alt=\"antislip map\" class=\"wp-image-14029 lazyload\" width=\"652\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/antislip-mat.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09GYSMWPF?tag=hvacbuzz-20=\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>SlipX Solutions Extra Large Square Shower Mat<\/em><\/strong><\/a> <em><sup><sub>(amazon link)<\/sub><\/sup><\/em> is an affordable choice that comes in a variety of colors, so you are sure to find one that matches the color and style of your bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that covering your beautiful marble tiles is not what you want, but the mats can be taken up after the shower and stored away until next time.

Unlike your average tiles that just require frequent cleaning, you will need to regularly seal your marble tiles because they are actually rather porous (the other issues with using them in the shower).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, marble floor tiles can become quite discolored due to their contact with moisture. Let&rsquo;s face it, in a shower, there is no shortage of direct and frequent contact with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can easily make your shower, and by extension your bathroom, look dirty and unhygienic, which totally defeats the purpose of having glamorous tiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marble tiles are also prone to etching and scratching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can avoid these problems by making sure you clean off any soap or dirt before it accumulates. Perhaps mop the tiles after each shower to really make sure you are preventing any build-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also need to seal the marble floors when you install them, as this assists in preventing discoloration and staining.
