Answer: Granite
Explanation: Natural stone tiles such as marble or granite are generally considered the most difficult to install. This difficulty arises from their heavy weight, irregular shapes, and the challenges involved in cutting and shaping them properly. Moreover, these materials demand a high level of precision and skill during installation to ensure they are level and properly spaced. Each piece’s unique variations in color, pattern, and texture add to the complexity of achieving a uniform appearance. |
