There are smoother and rougher tile surfaces. When getting tile put in my house I've made something of a point of avoiding the very slickest/smoothest tile.
I feel only rocky texture will be satisfactory after a year. Or is there any chemical that can safely strip the soaps and other fatty stuff from the mineral?
There's so much about showers in hotels that I hate a good proportion of the time: super-slick tiles, high step-in tubs, accompanied by no handholds. I've gotten more sensitive to this over time but even when I was much younger, nearly took spills a couple of times.
That's fair. It's one thing to tell people "don't build things in such a way that other people would be put at risk", and quite another to threaten people with punishment for choosing to take risks themselves.
My friend's parents dropped a shampoo bottle in their new build, and it broke through the bathtub. I hope this rough surface will be more durable.
I'm imagining some rough sandpaper layer that comes off every time you shower until it's smooth anyway. Glue is expensive, you know?
