FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does Arabescato Venato differ from Carrara marble? While Carrara features soft, blurry grey veining, Arabescato Venato is known for "brecciated" veining—meaning the grey patterns are more distinct, darker, and form large, swirling "egg" shapes or veins. It is a much bolder stone.

Is this suitable for a shower floor? Yes. The 1" x 2" herringbone format provides a high density of grout lines, which significantly increases slip resistance in wet areas. The honed finish further enhances grip, making it both a stylish and safe choice for shower pans.

What grout color is recommended? To keep the look clean and highlight the marble's natural beauty, we recommend a "Cool Grey" or "Silver" grout. This will coordinate with the Arabescato veining perfectly. If you prefer a brighter look, a "Bright White" grout will make the pattern appear more seamless.

How do I maintain the honed finish? Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar or bleach. Use a pH-neutral stone soap and a soft microfiber mop or cloth. Because it is natural marble, it should be sealed upon installation to prevent staining.

INSTALLATION & CARE TIPS

• Dry Lay for Veining: Because Arabescato is so distinct, we recommend laying out several sheets before installation to ensure the dark grey veining is evenly distributed across your surface.

• Use White Thinset: To preserve the bright white base of the marble, only use a white polymer-modified thinset for installation.

• Seal Annually: To keep the stone protected from moisture and oils, apply a high-quality penetrating sealer once a year.
