FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between Calacatta Gold and Carrara Marble?
While both come from Italy, Calacatta Gold is much rarer and considered a higher-end luxury. Carrara typically has a grayer base with soft, feathery veins. Calacatta Gold features a much whiter, "crisp" background and thicker, more dramatic veins that include signature gold and honey tones.
Is the 2" Hexagon suitable for shower floors?
Yes. The 2-inch hexagon is an ideal size for shower floors. The frequent grout lines provide essential slip resistance in wet environments, while the polished marble provides a smooth, luxurious feel underfoot.
How do I choose the right grout color?
To highlight the iconic gold veining, we recommend a Warm White or Alabaster grout. If you prefer the honeycomb pattern to pop, a Light Gray or Silver grout will provide a subtle contrast that emphasizes the hexagonal geometry.
Does Calacatta Gold require a lot of maintenance?
Like all premium natural stones, it should be treated with care. We recommend applying a high-quality penetrating sealer upon installation to protect against staining. For daily cleaning, use only pH-neutral stone cleaners.
Why is my marble tile slightly different from the sample?
Calacatta Gold is a natural product with High Variation (V4). No two tiles are identical. This uniqueness is the hallmark of luxury marble. We recommend "dry-laying" your sheets before installation to ensure a beautiful, randomized distribution of the gold veining.
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE TIPS
• Use White Thinset: You must use a white polymer-modified thinset. Gray thinset can bleed through the white marble, causing it to look dark or discolored.
• Sealing is Key: Apply a sealer before grouting to prevent "grout haze" from sticking to the polished surface, and reseal every 12 months.
• Avoid Acids: Never use vinegar, lemon juice, or bleach on Calacatta marble, as these will etch the polished surface and cause dull spots.
