        "text": "Marble can perform exceptionally well in wet areas, but it demands strict waterproofing, proper subfloor prep, and routine sealing. Because marble absorbs moisture and reacts to acidic bath products, installers must use specialized white thin-set mortar so the adhesive color does not bleed through or discolor translucent stone. In shower floors, smaller honed marble mosaic tiles work best because extra grout lines increase slip resistance. Polished marble becomes extremely slick when wet and is better suited for vertical shower surrounds or master bath accent walls.",

        "description": "Yes, but it requires thorough waterproofing, white thin-set mortar to prevent stone discoloration, and regular sealing. Honed mosaics work best on shower floors for slip resistance."
