FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do I need a pencil liner? Standard marble tiles have raw, unpolished edges. If you stop tiling in the middle of a wall (like a backsplash), the edge will look unfinished. A pencil liner covers that edge, providing a decorative, rounded "stop" for the tile.

Does Crema Marfil vary in color? Yes. As a natural stone, Crema Marfil ranges from a light "parchment" white to a deep "latte" beige. We hand-select our liners to ensure a consistent, high-quality "Standard" or "Select" grade, but slight variations in veining are part of the stone's natural beauty.

What is the best way to cut these? We recommend using a wet saw with a diamond blade specifically designed for natural stone. Because pencil liners are thin, go slowly to avoid snapping the piece at the end of the cut.

How do I clean this trim? Use only pH-neutral cleaners. Crema Marfil is a calcitic marble and is sensitive to acids (like vinegar or lemon). Regular sealing will help maintain the polished luster.

INSTALLATION & CARE TIPS

• Mitered Corners: For corners around a window or niche, cut the pencil liner at a 45-degree angle for a professional "picture frame" look.

• Sealing: Apply a penetrating sealer to the liner at the same time you seal your main tiles to protect against moisture and oils.

• Adhesive: Use a high-quality white thinset. Avoid "mastic" in wet areas, as it can cause the marble to discolor over time.
