Well I saw a show where someone had an elevator that stops and opens in there house and that is there main entrance but is there homes really like that and if there is wouldn't anyone be able to get inside your house?
Any tile can go into a bathroom and on the floor, just pick what you like the bestI wouldn't recommend anything really slick, such as a shiny marble or granite, or a shiny glazed ceramicIf installed properly, none should crack, regardless of type, unless something unforseen happens, such as a slab crack12x12 tiles wouldn't be too big for a small bathroomGo bigger if you'd like16x16, or 18x18 evenThe bigger the tile, the bigger the bathroon looks (it's an illusion) and also, the less grout joints to cleanTry your local tile distributor for the purchase of your tile before you go to Home Depot or Lowes, as they have a better quality of tile and they aren't really expensive like people thinkSometimes you can find good deals through the distributors on a discontinued tile or a saleMake sure you get extra tiles in case one breaks or cracks in the future, especially important if you purchase a discontinued tileGood luck!
This Site Might Help YouRE: which is best for bathroom floor tile? Ceramic, porcelain, stone, marble? I want to replace the existing ugly linoleum/vinyl floor in my bathroom with tileWith the right information and tools, I don't see why I can't do it myselfAny ideas on the pros and cons of different types of tile? What's least likely to get scratched, and what is least likely crack.
There are some quite nice ceramic styles but for the classy look you desire i think it can only be acheived with natural stone/marbleit is true that marble can stain as it is porus but if it is sealed correctly it should be ok, but you need to polish and reseal every few years to prevent stainingi fit bathrooms for a living and have taken out marble that is 15 years old that only looks tired because the choice of colour has dated not because of staining etcbut believe me stone looks so much better , go to your local tops tiles and look at the displays of ceramic tile then go to the stone tile show room just to browse and i think you will 'feel' the differencegood luck and i hope the bathroom turns out nice.
Yes,there are houses that have private lifts,if that's what you mean,even if its just a two story house.the lifts are installed mostly for the aged or the invalid.
