💎 Maintenance & Conservation Tips

Because this tile combines two types of premium natural marble, it requires "white-glove" care to maintain its pristine appearance:

1. Use White Thin-set ONLY: Thassos marble is famously crystalline and slightly translucent. Using grey mortar will make the white petals look "muddy" or grey. A high-quality white polymer-modified thin-set is non-negotiable.

2. Pre-Grout Sealer: Apply a penetrating sealer (like Stonetech BulletProof) before grouting. This prevents the grout pigment from staining the delicate pores of the white marble petals.

3. Non-Sanded Grout: To avoid scratching the polished surface of these fine marbles, always use non-sanded or high-performance acrylic grout.

4. pH-Neutral Routine: Clean only with specialized stone soaps. Avoid "miracle" bathroom cleaners, vinegar, or lemon-based sprays, as they will etch the marble and kill its natural luster.

5. Soft Buffing: After cleaning, buff the tile dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots from dulling the Thassos crystals.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can this floral pattern be used on a shower floor? A: While it is durable enough for feet, we recommend it primarily for shower walls or dry-area floors. The intricate grout lines in the floral pattern provide some grip, but the high-polished finish can be slippery when soapy.

Q: How do the sheets interlock? A: The 11.75 x 13.25 sheets are designed with "staggered" or interlocking edges. When installed correctly, the "floral" pattern flows seamlessly from one sheet to the next, making the seams between sheets invisible.

Q: What color grout is best for a "Floral" look? A: Most designers choose a Bright White or Avalanche grout to make the pattern look like a solid piece of carved stone. If you want the individual "petals" to pop, a very Light Silver or Warm Grey can provide subtle definition.

Q: Does it require professional installation? A: Yes. Due to the intricate water-jet cuts and the sensitivity of Thassos marble to mortar color, we highly recommend a licensed stone professional for this installation.
