Sourced from the legendary quarries of Carrara, Italy, this elongated format is a favorite among architects for its ability to \"open up\" a space. The 12-inch length provides a more monolithic look than traditional subway tiles, allowing the natural, smoky-grey veining to stretch across the surface like a piece of fine stationery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003e3x12 format\u003c\/b\u003e is engineered for high-impact surfaces. Its 1:4 ratio makes it exceptionally versatile for creative layouts; it is long enough to create a dramatic, large-scale herringbone and sleek enough for a \"soldier stack\" that adds incredible height to shower walls. The high-polished finish enhances the crystalline clarity of the marble, reflecting light to create a bright, airy atmosphere that feels both permanent and prestigious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"horizontal-scroll-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-block-component\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-block has-export-button new-table-style is-at-scroll-start is-at-scroll-end\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-content not-end-of-paragraph\"\u003e\n\u003ctable data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCollection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,1,1,0\"\u003eHeritage Italian Marble\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,2,1,0\"\u003eAuthentic Bianco Carrara Marble\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSize\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,3,1,0\"\u003e3\" x 12\" (Long Subway)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThickness\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,4,1,0\"\u003e10 mm (approx. 3\/8\")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,5,1,0\"\u003eHigh-Polished\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,6,1,0\"\u003eApprox. 1.30 Lbs per piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,7,1,0\"\u003eKitchen Backsplashes \/ Shower Walls \/ Accent Walls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLook\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,8,1,0\"\u003eModern \/ Architectural \/ Cool \/ Timeless\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-footer hide-from-message-actions\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm the current manufacturer approval for the intended floor, wall, shower, pool, exterior, or commercial installation before specifying this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Handling Guidelines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0\"\u003e⚠️ \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0\" data-index-in-node=\"3\"\u003eCRITICAL:\u003c\/b\u003e Bianco Carrara is a natural stone with inherent translucency.
