PRODUCT TITLE

Aphrodite Calacatta Grey 12" x 12" Premium Marble Wall & Floor Tile

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Transform your space into a high-end retreat with the Aphrodite Calacatta Grey Marble Tile. This 12x12 stone is a masterclass in natural contrast. It features a cool, frosty-white background that is heavily "inked" with bold, sweeping veins of charcoal, slate, and ash grey.

The 12" x 12" format is the industry standard for a reason: it is versatile enough for small bathroom floors yet substantial enough to create a stunning, continuous look on a walk-in shower wall. Because this is natural Aphrodite marble, every tile is a unique piece of earth-made art—some pieces will be softly clouded, while others will feature the sharp, jagged "breccia" veining that defines luxury Italian aesthetics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is "Calacatta Grey" the same as "Carrara"? No. While they share a similar color story, Calacatta Grey is much more "dramatic." Carrara typically has soft, blurry "peppered" veining, whereas Calacatta Grey features thick, bold, and distinct "rivers" of color.

What grout color should I use? To make the white background look as seamless as possible, use "Bright White" or "Avalanche." If you want to lean into the grey tones and define the 12x12 grid, a light grey like "Silver" is a stunning choice.

Can I use this for a bathroom floor? Yes. If you choose the Honed finish, it provides better slip resistance for wet areas. If you choose Polished, we recommend using it for walls or low-traffic powder room floors.

INSTALLATION & CARE TIPS

• White Thinset is Non-Negotiable: To keep the white marble from looking "muddy" or grey, you must use a white polymer-modified thinset.

• Dry-Lay Layout: Because of the bold veining, lay your tiles out on the floor before you glue them down. This allows you to "blend" the heavy veins so the room feels balanced.

• Sealing: Natural marble is porous. Apply a high-quality penetrating sealer before and after grouting to protect against water, oils, and soap scum.

• Maintenance: Never use acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon, or bleach). Use only a pH-neutral stone soap to protect the finish.
