I got Crossville Buenos Aires Mood in both textured and shiny (for accents). Love it! Not exactly marble, but stone-like.

Crossville Empire Series.

Thanks, can either of you clarify the Crossville fine print for me please?

They have a usage chart but then have this language:

"The polished tile is not recommended for wet areas or areas where standing water may accumulate. Usage chart shown with products is for Unpolished finish only"
Does this describe a bathroom as well? Or is it more about swimming pools?

I'm not on my computer, or I'd show you pics of a shower I did with high polished rectified porcelain. That said, it wasn't Crossville, but Laufen.

Bill, are you saying those Laufen tiles were not so slippery? I know any one will be if you wet it enough, but want to avoid something really dangerous

I wanted a marble look in my kids bath, without the issues that come along with marble. I also have well water that would not mix nicely with marble. I went with Vallelunga Pietra Romano - closest thing I could find in a porcelain tile that looked like the real thing. It has a grade 5 wear rating so should stand up to use by my kids.

I used the 6 by 6 shiny ones as accent pieces for the floor, the main floor is 12 by 12 textured pieces. I don't have a good answer for you about the slipperiness factor if you use all shiny ones. Isn't there a rating system for how slippery the tiles are? If you get smaller format tile that is shiny do you think the grout would take up the slack (meaning give you the gripping factor you need?) I realize grout lines are not popular but for some reason they don't bother me.

I used Ilva Pietre Travertine. It comes in several colors. I chose bianco. It has a high coefficient of friction and is definitely not slippery when wet. I use the shower test -- put the tile in the shower, then, when it is wet, step on it, being sure to hold onto something when you do. I rejected a nimber of tiles that looked great, just because they were too slippery when wet.
This tile looks great, passes the shower test, and has the added advantage of not showing dust bunnies.

1-I too am looking for non-slippery, marble looking porcelain tile but I don't need the shiny stuff. 2- Sorry, but it really irks me when some moron, with no living brain cells, shoots off their mouth without a clue as to the real facts of that case. (I'm a medic, it was a case study)The elderly woman who suffered having her thighs "literally cooked off her bones"(ALL the inner thighs,both sides) due to the outrageously scalding liquid that melted the cup, won for a very good reason. Take two seconds, look it up-with the pictures,and maybe next time you'll get the facts first. Remember-better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you're stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt, bill vincent.

Well Bill… the rest of us have been getting lukewarm coffee from McDonald’s and everywhere else ever since…
