Sourced from the premier quarries of Italy, this mosaic is a masterclass in geometric definition. Unlike standard flat hexagons, the \"Defined Edge\" deco style features a subtle, intentional relief or micro-bevel that catches light at the perimeter of each chip. This creates a high-definition \"shadow line\" that emphasizes the geometric grid, even when using matching white grout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003e5-inch scale\u003c\/b\u003e serves as a majestic canvas for Calacatta’s iconic mineralogy. Against a luminous, snowy-white field, sophisticated feathery veins of smoky grey and soft charcoal flow with organic continuity. The high-polished finish acts as a mirror, reflecting light across the crisp edges to create a surface that feels architectural, rhythmic, and undeniably luxury. Whether used as a grand feature wall or a modern master floor, it brings a sense of \"tailored\" permanence to the home.\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\"\u003eSignature Deco Series\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 Calacatta 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\"\u003eChip Size\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,3,1,0\"\u003e5\" (Point-to-Point Hexagon)\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\"\u003eSheet Size\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,4,1,0\"\u003eApprox. 11.5\" x 12.5\" (Mesh-Mounted)\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\"\u003eThickness\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,5,1,0\"\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=\"10,6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,6,1,0\"\u003eHigh-Polished\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,7,1,0\"\u003eApprox. 4.80 Lbs per sheet\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\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,8,1,0\"\u003eAccent Walls \/ Main Floors \/ Shower Walls \/ Grand Backsplashes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLook\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan data-path-to-node=\"10,9,1,0\"\u003eHigh-Definition \/ Geometric \/ Modern \/ Italian Luxury\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 Calacatta marble is a translucent natural stone.
