The Arctic White XL 9x24 stacked stone panel is the pinnacle of the "Bright & Bold" architectural movement. While traditional ledger panels are usually 6" in height, the XL Rockmount format increases that to 9", creating a more modern, expansive look that significantly reduces the number of horizontal seams on large walls.

Crafted from high-purity white marble with a natural split-face texture, it provides a shimmering, crystalline aesthetic that mimics a cliffside of pure snow.

Arctic White XL | 9" x 24" Stacked Stone Ledger Panel

Transform your vertical surfaces into a sculptural masterpiece with Arctic White XL. This extra-large format ledger panel is designed for grand-scale applications—think two-story fireplaces, expansive exterior facades, or luxury "spa" feature walls. The natural split-face finish exposes the internal crystals of the marble, allowing the stone to "glitter" as the sun or interior lighting moves across the surface.

The 9-inch height is specifically engineered to balance the proportions of modern high-ceiling architecture, offering a cleaner, less "fussy" appearance than smaller, standard ledger stones.

Why Choose the XL 9x24 Format?

• Monolithic Aesthetic: The larger panel size creates a more "solid block" look, making the wall feel like it was built from massive stone slabs rather than small pieces.

• 33% Fewer Joints: Compared to a 6x24 panel, the 9x24 format drastically reduces the number of horizontal lines, resulting in a more seamless and sophisticated finish.

• Superior Brightness: Arctic White is one of the brightest natural stones available. It can make a dark room feel significantly more open and light-filled.

• Z-Shape Interlocking: Each panel features a precision-cut "Z" edge, allowing the panels to puzzle together and hide the vertical joints for a continuous stone appearance.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Weight Requirement: Crucial: These panels are heavy. Ensure your substrate (cement backer board) is properly secured to the studs. Use a high-bond Large Format Tile (LFT) Mortar in White.

• White Thinset Only: Mandatory: Never use grey mortar behind Arctic White marble. The grey can "bleed" into the white stone or be visible through the small gaps in the split-face texture.

• No Grout: This is a dry-stack product. The panels are designed to be butted tight against each other without grout lines.

• Sealing: For interior fireplaces, a Natural-Look Penetrating Sealer is recommended to prevent dust and soot from settling into the pores. For exterior use, a sealer will prevent yellowing from UV rays and moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does Arctic White have any grey in it? A: True Arctic White is a "High-Purity" stone. While there may be very minor silver crystal inclusions, it does not have the heavy grey veining found in "Alaska Gray" or "Carrara."

Q: Can I use this behind a stove? A: Yes, but be aware that the rough split-face texture is harder to clean than a smooth tile. We recommend using a heavy-duty stone sealer if you plan to install it as a kitchen backsplash.

Q: How do I finish the corners? A: MSI and other manufacturers offer matching 9" x 18" XL L-shaped corners. Using these is essential for a professional look on pillars or fireplace returns.

Q: Can it be installed over a brick fireplace? A: Yes, provided the brick is clean, unpainted, and structurally sound. You may need to apply a "scratch coat" or use a specialized thinset for stone-on-brick applications.
