        "text": "Porcelain and ceramic tile are popular choices for shower walls because they are dense, non-porous, and simple to clean. For shower floors, smaller tiles—such as mosaics, penny rounds, or textured porcelain—are preferred because the increased grout joints provide natural slip resistance on a wet, sloped surface. Natural stone like marble, slate, or travertine offers high-end beauty, but it requires regular sealing and careful maintenance with pH-neutral cleaners to prevent staining and water absorption. Choosing larger tiles for walls reduces grout lines, while smaller tiles on the floor ensure safety and follow pan contours cleanly.",
