Marble and Venetian Glass Aggregate Bathroom Floor Tiles

Bob and Bob Ingram discuss the Rover Tile that is going into the master bath and children's bathroom. The tile is a combination of ninety five percent marble chips plus Venetian glass and polyester resin which has been ground down to a smooth surface. Because the Rover Tile is manmade the color can be controlled. Some of the colors such as the blue that Bob points out have added chemicals that make them more vivid. Several of them resemble natural marble while others look like Terrazzo. Some also use larger chunks of marble and glass for a more unusual look. Kubik Black has been chosen for the children's bath and a white color for the master bath.
