Whether you’re creating a classic style bathroom for your personal enjoyment or for resale purposes, you’ll want to choose materials that add value and are durable. While marble looks luxurious, it is quite costly and requires more maintenance than other materials.
So if you’re feeling the pain in your pocketbook, you might want to opt for a true-to-life marble look instead. For example, the Pietra Collection from MSI meets this durable design demand with its line of inkjet printed porcelain tiles. These dreamy materials mimic marble so well that you’ll forget it’s not the real thing!
You can choose from a number of sizes and looks to create a bathroom or shower with incredible style. Plus, you’ll love all of the benefits porcelain has to offer. It is harder and less porous than ceramic, is very easy to clean, and never needs to be sealed.
Not only does it resist bacteria and odors, but it also resists water, so it can handle splashes and spills. Still unsure? Take a look at these classic shower looks made possible with the installation of marble-look porcelain.
