12.44 x 11.7 Capri Blue Round Honed Mosaic Tile

Product Overview

Capri Blue 12.44" x 11.7" Honed Marble Round Mosaic Tile

Transform your interior into a serene sanctuary with the Capri Blue Round Honed Mosaic. Sourced for its distinct color profile, this natural marble features a sophisticated palette of cool sky blues, slate greys, and charcoal veining set against a luminous light-grey background.

The Round (Penny) format provides a classic, rhythmic aesthetic that softens the hard lines of a bathroom or kitchen. The Honed finish gives the stone a velvety, matte texture that feels incredible underfoot and eliminates the "glare" often found in highly lit spaces. Mounted on a generous 12.44" x 11.7" sheet, this mosaic is specifically designed to provide a seamless, high-traction surface for luxury wet rooms and high-impact backsplashes.

Recommended Applications

Confirm the current manufacturer approval for the intended floor, wall, shower, pool, exterior, or commercial installation before specifying this product.

Design Profile

• Exceptional Color Depth: A rare marble palette that features natural blue and slate tones—perfect for "coastal modern" or "industrial chic" designs.

• Organic Round Shape: The soft circular geometry breaks up the "grid look" of traditional tile, creating a more fluid, custom feel.

• Satin-Smooth Honed Finish: Provides a contemporary matte look that is resistant to showing water spots or fingerprints.

• Optimal Safety: The high density of grout lines creates natural slip resistance, making it the premier choice for shower floors and entryways.

• Interlocking Sheets: The 12.44" x 11.7" dimensions are engineered to nest together, hiding the seams between sheets for a continuous "field" of stone.

Installation & Handling Guidelines

• White Thinset Only: Always use a white polymer-modified thinset. Gray thinset can darken the light-blue marble from behind, making it look dull.

• Dry-Lay First: Because of the natural color range, lay out your sheets before installation to ensure the blue-heavy tiles are evenly distributed across the area.

• Sealing: Apply a high-quality penetrating sealer before you grout to act as a "grout release," and apply another coat after the grout is dry to protect the stone from oils and soap.

• Avoid Acids: Never use vinegar, lemon juice, or harsh "scrubbing" chemicals on Capri Blue, as they will dull the honed finish over time.

Care & Maintenance

Use a cleaner appropriate to the listed material and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. Test any cleaner or sealer on a spare piece first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the "Capri Blue" color vary much? Yes. Since this is 100% natural marble, expect "beautiful inconsistency." Some pennies will be a solid misty grey, while others will feature deep indigo-blue veining. This variation is exactly what gives the finished floor its high-end, organic look.

What grout color matches best? To keep the look airy and emphasize the blue tones, use a light grey like "Silver" or "Frost." If you want a more graphic, "vintage" look where every circle is defined, a crisp "Bright White" is the way to go.

Is it difficult to clean a "honed" marble floor? Not at all. Honed marble is actually more "forgiving" than polished marble because it doesn't show etching or scratches as easily. However, it is still a natural stone and requires a pH-neutral cleaner.
