Tile Question

I want to retile our shower and found a version of this tile at Costco. The tile I purchased is from the same company and is the same material, just a different color. We were thinking of using it as accent tile or maybe having one whole shower wall covered with it.  The package and store display didn’t specifically state avoiding putting them in the shower, but the online description states, “Not recommended for installation around a fire place, in a shower or outdoors.

My tile knowledge isn’t very vast, but I don’t understand why it couldn’t be used in a shower if installed correctly using the proper grout, sealant, tile board, membrane, and so on. Thoughts?

Bag of Randomness for Wednesday, June 21, 2017

  • That photo was taken today but back in 2003. I have nothing to blog about, so here are some other pics from that day.
  • It’s funny looking through these pictures and realizing how many friends we no longer keep in contact with.
  • This is us arriving at the reception, and I made sure the first song we were introduced to as a married couple was a U2 song, specifically “Beautiful Day”. 
  • Because of my Asian heritage, I specifically requested rice to be thrown.
  • Our flight was delayed, so we were just happy to finally be on a flight.
  • Per tradition, I carried WifeGeeding over the threshold. This is also photographic evidence of when my chronic back problems began.
  • Bonus: It appears I jumped the gun on my vows, but the pastor actually forgot to pause.
