slate or ceramic

Tags: Flooring & Stairs
I have to let the builder know any upgrades, and I am thinking of upgrading to slate flooring where I would have had ceramic tiles. Any reason why this is not a good idea. Thanks

We considered slate untill we talked to many folks who have iot and found that it stains and is not as easy to take care of as ceramic tile. Also, I am not sure why itr would be an upgrade. There are ceramic tiles that cost more than slate flooring does

Excellence is its own reward!
