It is true that grout lines can crack, and maintaining grout in perfect condition may require a little extra TLC, but the appeal of tile is lasting. Ancient mosaics used for flooring, walls and public baths in places like Pompeii, Masada, Greece and North Africa testify to the longevity and beauty of the choice.
