        "text": "Choose tile based on slip awareness, water exposure, maintenance, availability, installation complexity, and the visual scale of the room—not appearance alone. Large-format tile can reduce some grout lines but may require flatter substrates and careful handling; small or textured tile can help with slope and traction but increases grout maintenance. Context: Elite Remodeling & Design can incorporate tile selections into 3D design and construction planning. Key factors: shower floor slope, cleaning habits, grout type, wall flatness, pattern, lead time, and replacement availability. Practical guidance: compare full-size samples in the room’s lighting and confirm the tile is suitable for its intended surface. Order enough material from a consistent lot and retain spare pieces. A well-chosen tile should support the waterproofing and installation plan, not dictate it.",
