Description

• Size(s) Available: Mesh-mounted sheet of 12″ × 12″ per piece (nominal) covering about 1 sq ft per sheet.
• Thickness: Not explicitly specified in the listing. Standard mosaic marble thickness often falls in the ~3/8″ (≈10 mm) range, but you may want to confirm with the supplier.
• Application Ideas: Excellent for accent backsplashes, feature wall panels, decorative borders, shower walls, and vertical surfaces where a linear texture can add elegance without overwhelming a space.

Key Features

• Linear Strip Texture: The long, narrow strips create a subtle directional pattern that can elongate walls or add quiet movement to surfaces.
• Finish Flexibility: Choice between Polished and Honed finishes lets you control how much light reflection or tactile softness you want.
• Matching Collection Aesthetic: Seamlessly pairs with other pieces in the Calacatta Aureo line—both in veining/color and material quality.

Care & Maintenance

• Installation Tips: Dry-lay the sheets first to ensure the strip orientation is consistent and the veining flows in a pleasing way. Use a white or light colored thin-set/mortar to avoid color shifts. Keep grout joints minimal (≈1/16″) to maintain clean lines of the skinny strips.
• Sealing: Apply a penetrating stone sealer before grouting; after installation and grout cure, seal again to safeguard against moisture absorption and staining.
• Cleaning: Use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners with soft cloths. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners and scouring pads which may scratch or etch the marble surface.
• Natural Variation: Expect natural variation in veining, tone, and texture from sheet to sheet—this is part of the marble’s character. Inspect your sheets before installing for visual harmony across the installation.
