        "text": "Natural marble can be installed in walk-in showers, but it demands proper waterproofing, high-grade setting materials, and consistent maintenance. Marble absorbs water more readily than glazed tile, which means sub-surface waterproofing must be installed flawlessly to protect wall framing. In shower pans or wet areas, smooth marble can also become slippery, so homeowners often choose smaller mosaic cuts or honed finishes to improve grip. Additionally, marble in showers must be sealed regularly and cleaned only with stone-safe formulas to prevent discoloration from shampoo and soap scum.",

        "description": "Yes, marble can be used in showers if paired with complete waterproofing, proper slope, regular sealing, and textured or mosaic cuts to reduce slipping."
