FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this tile suitable for shower floors? Yes! The basketweave pattern is one of the most popular choices for shower floors. The frequent grout lines between the "weave" and the "dots" provide excellent natural slip resistance, even when the marble is wet.

Will the gold veining be prominent in every sheet? Calacatta Gold is famous for its "gold" highlights, but as a natural stone, the intensity of the veining will vary. Some pieces will have bold gold strokes, while others will feature soft gray shadows. We recommend dry-laying your sheets before installation to achieve your preferred look.

What grout color is recommended for this pattern? To maintain a classic, clean look, many designers choose "Bright White" or "Avalanche." If you want to subtly highlight the gray Bardiglio dots, a very light gray grout (like "Silver") is a beautiful alternative.

How do I prevent the white marble from staining? Marble is a porous stone. You must seal the tile with a high-quality penetrating sealer upon installation. We also recommend using a "White Thinset" to ensure the dark adhesive doesn't bleed through or shadow the white marble.

INSTALLATION & CARE TIPS

• Sealing: Seal before grouting to prevent grout pigment from staining the marble, and seal again after installation is complete.

• Daily Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Never use vinegar, bleach, or harsh bathroom sprays, as these will "etch" and dull the marble surface.

• Maintenance: Depending on traffic and usage, we recommend resealing your marble once a year to keep the colors vibrant and the stone protected.
