Care & Maintenance

• Installation Tips: Dry-fit tiles to confirm pattern and veining alignment. Use white thin-set mortar to preserve the natural coloring, and maintain slim grout joints (~1/16″) for a contemporary effect.
• Sealing: Apply a breathable stone sealer both before grouting and once more after grout cleanup to ensure surface integrity.
• Cleaning: Use a soft cloth with pH-neutral, non-acidic cleaners. Avoid abrasive or acidic products that can etch or dull the marble. 
• Natural Variation: Expect variation in veining and coloration—these unique characteristics enrich the tile’s visual depth and reflect its authentic material quality. Pre-inspect tiles prior to installation.
