Maintenance & Long-Term Care To maintain the pristine "Gold" look of your mosaic, follow these care steps:

• Regular Cleaning: Use a damp microfiber mop and a pH-neutral floor cleaner. Avoid bleach-based products which can dull the finish over time.

• Protect the Joints: Because this pattern has a high density of grout lines, we recommend using a high-quality, stain-resistant grout (such as epoxy or high-performance cementitious grout).

• Grout Cleaning: For white tiles, a soft-bristled brush can be used periodically to keep the grout joints looking bright and new.

• No Sealing Required: The surface of the tile is non-absorbent, meaning you never have to worry about the periodic sealing required for real marble.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Can I use this for a shower floor? A: Absolutely! The octagon-and-dot pattern creates a high frequency of grout lines, providing excellent natural slip resistance, making it one of the safest and most stylish choices for wet areas.

• Q: What color is the small "dot" in the pattern? A: The dot is designed to coordinate with the Calacatta Gold veining, typically featuring a soft tan, gold, or matching white tone to maintain a seamless, high-end look.

• Q: Is the "Gold" veining very bright? A: It is designed to look natural. The gold tones are subtle and vary from tile to tile, mimicking the organic mineral deposits found in genuine Italian stone.

• Q: How many sheets come in a case? A: Most cases contain 10 sheets (covering 10 square feet), but please verify with your specific supplier as packaging can vary.
