Key Features

• Large-Format Impact: The 12×24 size lets you cover more area with fewer grout lines, creating a more continuous, elegant look and ideal for modern or minimalist aesthetics.
• Finish Options for Mood and Use: Polished accentuates the marble’s natural shine and veining; honed softens glare and can be more forgiving in light exposure or for less formal settings.
• Refined Marble Aesthetic: The Asian Statuary veining is elegant without being overly busy — giving you a tile that works well in a variety of color palettes and design schemes.

Care & Maintenance

• Installation Tips: Dry-lay a few tiles to check veining and color consistency across tiles and between boxes. Use white or light-colored marble-appropriate thin-set mortar so as not to influence the marble’s tonality. Ensure substrate is flat (level) because large tiles are less forgiving—uneven substrate can lead to lippage.
• Sealing: Essential to seal the marble tile before grouting. After installation and once grout has set, reseal to protect from moisture and stains. Depending on usage (floor vs wall, wet or dry areas), periodic resealing may be necessary.
• Cleaning: Use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths or mops. Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon, etc.) and harsh scrubbing pads, which can etch or dull the surface.
• Natural Variation: Expect natural variation in veining, tone, and pattern between tiles and within each tile. These variations are part of the beauty of marble. Inspect material before installation for visual harmony.
