Care & Maintenance

• Installation Tips:
    • Ensure waterproofing behind the niche cavity (membrane + flashing) since it’s in a wet area.
    • Use white thin-set or appropriate marble mortar to avoid discoloration.
    • Support the niche with proper framing so its edges align neatly with surrounding tile.
• Sealing: Seal the marble niche before installation, and again once the grout and installation are fully done to prevent moisture penetration and staining.
• Cleaning: Clean with pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners; soft cloths or brushes. Avoid acidic cleaners (like vinegar or citrus) or abrasive pads that could dull the finish.
• Natural Variation: Expect variation in vein pattern, shades of gray/gold, and subtle texture across pieces — this adds to the uniqueness and beauty of natural Calacatta marble. Inspect your niche piece before installation to ensure it matches your tile field’s tone.
