Looking at the different types of tiles
There are few types of tiles available, each with its unique features and benefits:
- Ceramic Tiles: These are popular for showers due to their affordability, durability, and wide range of designs. They come in numerous colors, patterns, and textures, allowing you to customize your shower space to suit your style.

- Natural Stone Tiles: For a luxurious and sophisticated look, natural stone tiles like marble, granite, or slate are ideal. Each piece is unique, adding a touch of elegance to your shower. However, they may require more upkeep and are usually more expensive.
