Shiny + Beautiful + Dangerous
Many clients want to create the most high end "look" they can afford. Every room needs a stand-out aesthetic touch. But polished stone or glazed tile flooring is never a good choice if there is any chance of the surface getting wet or forming condensation. Larger size tiles only make the floor area more slippery.
A polished marble floor is spectacular, but dangerous for young and old alike. Instead use large unglazed or rough textured flooring such as a porcelain slate or inset textured flooring with glazed flooring to minimize the ice rink danger. There is no such thing as "non-slip" flooring. Each product has a different coefficient of slip resistance. If you are looking to make safe choices, make sure you compare the coefficient ratings.
