Glazed ceramic tile is not the same as marble. Glossy glazed ceramic is a
man-made, fired material, and is impervious to almost any liquid and, when
wet, is extremely slippery and treacherous. Marble is a natural stone and
very porous when compared to ceramic tile (actually, I think that it's
calcium carbonate). Anyway, it's NOWHERE near as slippery as high-gloss
ceramic tile.

Commercial buildings and hotels use glossy marble floors in entrances
quite often.
Of course they can afford the insurance.
