No problems to report, no disputes. Just workshopping some options for a domestic retile.
I tend to say that after twenty years most ceramic tiles are shagged. The glaze cracks, they may still have integrity but no longer look new and don't stay clean so well.
By contrast, actual stone tiles (eg, marble, granite but excluding filled products like travertine) never look quite as mint to start with but seem to age more "softly" if you know what I mean. But I've never seen them after twenty years in normal usage - has anyone here, such an experience or observations to share?
Thanks, Adam.
