damage
Damage is any change in a thing, often a physical object, that degrades it away from its initial state. It can broadly be defined as "changes introduced into a system that adversely affect its current or future performance". Damage "does not necessarily imply total loss of system functionality, but rather that the system is no longer operating in its optimal manner". Damage to physical objects is "the progressive physical process by which they break",: 1. and includes mechanical stress that weakens a structure, even if this is not visible.: ix.

We've just spent thousands installing beautiful tiling but hate our decision to hang a shower screen due to its chronic cleaning requirements. How best can we conceal the damage done to the tiles (we believe there are two drill holes, but don't know about markings from adhesive) so we can hang...

We have had a flood in our bathroom. Some of our granite tiles have become discoloured/darker/wet looking. It looks to me ( no tiler) that water has got underneath the tiles and has soaked in to the porous underside. Does anone know if we can expect them to dry out.
Thanks
