Frequently Asked Questions

Does this marble require sealing? Yes. To maintain the pristine white background and protect against staining, we recommend using a high-quality impregnating sealer specifically designed for polished natural stone before and after grouting.

Can I use polished marble on a shower floor? While polished marble is beautiful, it can be slippery when wet. Because the 2-inch penny rounds provide frequent grout lines for added grip, it is often used for shower floors, but we recommend checking local building codes or using it primarily for walls and backsplashes if slip resistance is a primary concern.

What is the best way to maintain the shine? Avoid abrasive pads or acidic cleaners (vinegar, bleach, ammonia). Use a pH-neutral stone soap and a soft microfiber cloth to preserve the polished luster and prevent etching.

How many sheets do I need? Each sheet covers just under 1 square foot. We always recommend ordering 10-15% extra to account for cuts, corners, and waste during installation.
