Mexian Cantera Stone is naturally slip-resistant, thanks to its porous nature, yet it doesn't expand when it becomes wet. However, even though the tile withstands moisture well, its porous nature does have the potential to stain. The best way to protect your floors is to have your cantera tiles sealed.
