"very disappointing and frustrating tile job. we can honestly say there was nothing done correctly. We had no choice but to rip everything out (including heated floor) and had to start over. issues experienced were: 1/2 grout lines (not sure who still does anything larger than 1/8 inch anymore). several loose floor tiles. grout crumbled and flaked 2 days after installation. water in shower base pooled and some flowed the wrong way (into bathroom rather than into drain). we requested 1/3 offset pattern (staggered by 8 inches on a 24 inch tile) but instead got a varied staggered pattern from 4 inches to 12 inches. shortcuts on waterproofing (rubber membrane was cut down). we reached out immediately only to find Tornell had blocked my number. Called and left a message from my wife's phone but have not heard anything at this time."

Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts
Overall, granite tends to cost more than marble. Prices for each material will fluctuate depending on the source of the stone, your location, shipping costs, and the thickness of the material. Labor to install marble or granite countertops typically ranges from $35 to $45 per hour.
Granite and marble tile and slab costs compare as follows:
Marble tile: $7–$10
Granite tile: $5–$15
Marble slab: $25–$60
Granite slab: $50–$100
Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.
Yes, it’s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you’re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.
You can purchase natural stone tiles from your local home improvement store or stone distributor.
Simply put, natural stone flooring is a high-end style that outlasts its wood and carpet counterparts. After finding a style you love, a stone flooring company near you can help source and install them for a reliably clean look.
There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.
