Replacing bathroom floor tile with 1″ hex and have choice between polished and honed. Which is better choice for floor? Like the look of polished but wonder if it will be slippery. Any suggestions?

I assume you’re talking marble?  Honed must be sealed much more frequently and has a tendency to stain.  Polished is slippery, but with a 1″ hex, you have enough grout lines that it shouldn’t be a problem.

We have 1″ carrera hexagon in a polished finish in our kids bath and it is not slippery at all due to all the grout lines.
