Bianco Dolomite
Bianco Dolomite is a bright white marble from Turkey with soft gray veining and a slightly warmer, creamier white than Thassos. It sits between Thassos and Carrara: whiter and more consistent than Carrara, with more movement than Thassos, and usually priced below both. Because its veining is low-contrast it reads as a calm white surface from across the room, which makes it popular for full-height shower walls and larger floors. This collection has 39 Bianco Dolomite tiles and mosaics in polished and honed finishes.
What's in the collection
Field tile in 12x12, 12x24, 6x12, 4x12, 3x6, 2x8 subway, 2x4 brick and 2x2 squares; mosaics in hexagon, herringbone, basketweave, arabesque, chevron, octagon and dot and picket; and pencil liners and bullnose for trim. Everything comes in both polished and honed.
Where to use Bianco Dolomite
Large bathroom floors and shower walls where you want white marble without strong veining, kitchen backsplashes, and vanity walls. The 12x24 field tile with a matching hexagon shower floor is the most common combination. It pairs with white, gray and navy cabinets and with any metal finish.
Polished or honed
Polished shows the veining and reflects light; it is the usual choice for walls, backsplashes and low-traffic floors. Honed is matte, hides etching and water spots, and gives better grip, so it is the choice for shower floors and busy floors.
Care
Dolomite is slightly harder and less acid-sensitive than other marbles, but still seal it and clean with a neutral cleaner. White or light gray grout disappears into the stone.
Frequently asked questions
What is Bianco Dolomite?
A white dolomitic marble quarried in Turkey, with soft gray veining. Dolomite is chemically a little harder and more acid-resistant than calcite marbles like Carrara, though it still needs sealing.
Bianco Dolomite vs Carrara: which is whiter?
Bianco Dolomite. Carrara has a gray cast and more visible veins; Dolomite is a cleaner white with low-contrast veining.
Is Bianco Dolomite good for a shower?
Yes. Use honed on the floor, polished or honed on the walls, seal it, and it will hold up well. It is one of the more forgiving white marbles for wet areas.
Does Bianco Dolomite need sealing?
Yes. Marble is porous. Apply a penetrating sealer after grout cures, wipe off the excess, and re-seal every 1–2 years in showers and kitchens. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner; vinegar, lemon and bleach etch the surface.
Do you sell samples?
Yes. Every tile and mosaic here has a sample listing. Natural stone varies from lot to lot, so order a sample first, and buy all the tile for one project at the same time so it comes from one lot.
How fast does it ship?
In stock in the US and ships in 2–3 business days. Boxed tile and mosaics ship by ground; larger orders go LTL freight.
