Calacatta Gold Herringbone 1x2 Polished/Honed Marble Mosaic Tile
Calacatta Gold herringbone 1x2 polished/honed marble mosaic tile. Short 1x2 strips of white Italian marble with gray and gold veining, set in a tight herringbone on mesh sheets. The zigzag adds movement without adding color, so it fits white kitchens, brass hardware and warm wood equally well. Run the points up the wall on a backsplash, or lay it on a shower floor or bathroom floor where the small pieces follow a gentle slope.
Rated for floors and walls: backsplashes, shower floors and walls, bathroom floors and niche backs. Honed is the better choice for shower floors and kitchen backsplashes near cooking; polished catches more light on a feature wall. Seal after grouting and clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner.

Care & Maintenance
• Installation Tips: Dry-fit pieces prior to installation to ensure consistent veining and colour alignment. Use marble-approved adhesives or thin-set suitable for the piece being installed to prevent slippage and ensure proper bonding.
• Sealing: Seal prior to grouting and again after installation is complete and grout has cured to protect against moisture, staining, and edge wear.
• Cleaning: Use pH-neutral, non-abrasive stone cleaners with soft cloths or sponges. Avoid acidic or abrasive products that may etch or dull the marble surface.
• Natural Variation: Variations in veining, tone, and pattern are inherent to natural marble and contribute to its unique character. Inspect pieces before installation to ensure visual continuity.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including crystalline silica (airborne particles of respirable size) in dust created during fabrication/installation if the product is dry cut/ground or pulverized, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer. p65warnings.ca.gov

Installation
MATERIAL INSPECTION
Our stones are natural products. For this reason, there will be naturally occurring variations in the color, pattern, texture, and veining that may differ from what was pictured. Before you begin installation, please inspect the goods for any damage or defects such as chipped edges, broken pieces. We cannot make any adjustments or provide service after the installation has begun.
INSTALLATION
We recommend that you dry-fit your pattern first. Think about the cuts in advance and visualize the installation. Make sure that you practice laying out the pattern. This will also help you plan out the placement of the pieces, which is especially helpful with tiles that have a lot of variation.
To avoid affecting the color of the tile, we highly recommend using white thinset mortar. For faster installation, use a rapid curing thinset mortar.
- Apply as much adhesive as can be covered within 10-15 minutes.
- Grout joint should be a minimum of 1/16” and not butt set.
- Use a 3/16" or 1/4" square notch trowel when installing our marble material
- Prior to fixing the tiles in the mortar bed, use the flat side of the trowel prior to smooth down the ridges.
GROUTING
- For all-natural stone, we suggest using non-sanded grout in order to prevent scratching.
- Before grouting, test an area to make sure the stone surface will not scratch.
- Grout joints should be packed full. Do not leave pits or voids.
- Clean excess grout as you work. Do not let it harden completely.
- Never use acids to clean grout haze.
- Use a damp sponge for the final cleaning and to smooth out the grout joints.
- We highly recommend applying grout release prior to grouting the tile to facilitate cleaning and for protection against staining from contrasting color grouts.
SEAL
After the stone is installed and grouted, seal the stone with an appropriate high-quality breathable stone sealer. This will minimize the potential for water absorption, efflorescence, and staining. If needed, a color enhancer may be applied to bring out the true color of the stone at any time after grouting. You may choose to reseal the tile when the stone gets darker or as needed.
CUTTING
For the best results, use a wet-saw with a new, continuous rim diamond blade designed to cut marble. Do not use “turbo” or other notched blades designed for use with porcelain or ceramic: such teeth can result in a coarse cut, leading to a heavily chipped edge.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
For normal care and maintenance of stone tiles, clean stone surfaces with a few drops of neutral cleaner, stone soap, or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse the surface thoroughly after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft cloth. To avoid leaving a film or causing streaks, avoid using too much cleaner or soap. When cleaning marble or limestone, do not use products that contain lemon, vinegar, or other acids. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
