We like the appeal of warm Natural Stone and Slate offers an earthy look but it's days are numbered in your shower. There are a number of Natural Stone products you see installed in shower design centers all over made from Marble, Travertine and yes, Slate. My advice and I know a lot of design centers will hate me for this but, "don't do it". Marble, Travetrine and Slate are porous even if polished and will absorb water.

Laminate Flooring has a place and technology is trying to keep up to survive normal wear and tear. Reasons why you should use Laminate are many as are reasons not to. It's great for a fast economic floor covering with many options in texture, style, feel and look. It is almost indistinguishable when placed next to the real thing in many cases but the reality ends the second a piece of furniture compromises the very thin Formica type surface or water invades the substructure of this flooring.
