🏛️ THE DESIGN IDENTITY

• The Archetype: The Organic Luxury Marble Grid for high-end primary bath floors, walk-in shower pans, architectural backsplashes, and elegant accent niches.

• The Contrast: Breaking away from standard white Carrara or cool gray marbles, Calacatta Green (Coronado) introduces a sophisticated, botanical-mineral palette. It features a silky honed finish that softens natural light while highlighting soft sage, jade green, cream, and warm taupe veining across a white marble base.

• Design Aesthetics: The premier surface choice for Biophilic Luxury Bathrooms, Japandi & Organic Modern Interiors, Classic Mediterranean Sanctuaries, and Textured Feature Walls.

• The Mineral Field: Authentic natural Calacatta Green marble—blending soft white, pale sage, deep forest veining, warm honey-gold undertones, and a smooth matte-honed surface.

• The Visual Flow: The timeless 2" hexagon geometric format is mesh-mounted in a honeycomb grid. The frequent grout joints provide natural slip resistance on wet floors while creating continuous visual movement across surfaces.

🛠️ INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: NATURAL STONE WATERPROOFING & SEALING

• White Mortar Required: Always set Calacatta marble using a premium white polymer-modified thinset (such as MAPEI® Ultraflex 2 White or LATICRETE® 254 Platinum White). Gray mortar will bleed through and permanently discolor light natural marble.

• Pre-Sealing Before Grouting: Natural marble is porous. Apply a penetrating sealer (such as Miracle Sealants 511 Impregnator) to the tiles before grouting to prevent grout haze and pigment staining in the honed surface.

Professional Installation Recommendations

• Recommended Grout: Pair with an unsanded or fine-sanded grout in "Warm Gray", "Alabaster", or "Warm Ivory" to complement the green and cream veining without scratching the honed finish.

• Slope to Drain: Pre-pitch shower floor pans 1/4" per foot toward the drain prior to laying hexagon sheets.

💡 PRO CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS

1. Apply Penetrating Sealer: Seal marble upon installation and reapply an impregnating stone sealer every 12 to 18 months to protect against moisture absorption and staining.

2. pH-Neutral Cleaners Only: Clean exclusively with pH-neutral stone cleaners (e.g., StoneTech® Revitalizer). Never use acidic cleaners, vinegar, bleach, or harsh scrub pads on marble.

3. Immediate Spill Cleanup: Wipe away soaps, citrus products, oils, and hair dyes promptly to prevent surface etching.

💬 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can 2" Calacatta Green Marble Hexagon tile be used on shower floors?

A: Yes! The 2" hexagon scale creates frequent grout lines that, paired with the smooth honed matte finish, provide excellent slip resistance for walk-in shower pans and wet room floors.

Q: Will every sheet look identical to the sample photo?

A: No. Because Calacatta Green is a 100% natural marble, each sheet features organic variations in veining intensity, color distribution, and background shading. Dry-laying sheets prior to final installation is recommended to blend natural tone shifts seamlessly.

Q: Is Calacatta Green tile suitable for outdoor swimming pools?

A: No. Natural marble is sensitive to pool chemicals, acid washing, and freeze-thaw water saturation. For pool waterlines and submerged applications, high-fired porcelain or glass mosaics are recommended.
