Vitreous Tile
Can you set Non-vitreous tile around a shower?

Is it ok to use high absorbtion tiles (>7%) around a bath/shower surround? What can possibly happen? Will sealing the edges of the tile before grouting help to keep the moisture under control? Some places I read that its fine, but others that you shouldn't use anything less than semi-vitreous with right waterproofing...

Thanks for any help!

Mold or mildue does not grow in the tile,it grows behind in the drywall or timber,just make sure you
use a proper waterproofing membrane that tile can be layed on such as kerdi by schluter or hydraflex
by tec.And use a non modified mortar to lay your tiles and then seal the tile with the proper sealer.
Use a good quality grout as well.
