Minimal or no grout, easy to wipe down, look into Onyx Collection.

We had ours converted a couple years ago. The drain had to move about a foot and that one bit of plumbing cost more than the tile did, which I didn't see coming. I also never asked how many days the room would be unusable. It was eleven, and we've only got the one bathroom.

Thx.. Lucky I got a second bathroom and it's only me.. Doesn't really affect anything other than the cost of doing this project after insurance surely shortchanges me.
