• The Contrast: Blends the cool, solid purity of natural marble with the luminous shimmer of translucent glass chips, avoiding the look of single-material mosaics.

• Design Aesthetics: The primary choice for Coastal Luxury, Spa-Inspired Bathrooms, or Vibrant Moderninterior layouts.

• The Mineral Field: Combines bright White Thassos marble with shimmering Blue Crystal glass chips to evoke sunlight reflecting over ocean water.

• The Visual Flow: The repeating 2" x 2" hexagon pattern creates an energetic geometry that expands small rooms and guides light softly across walls and floors.

🏷️ PRODUCT TITLE

Hexagon Collection: Crystal Ocean 2" x 2" Polished Glass & Thassos Marble Mosaic Tile (11.75" x 12" Sheet)

📝 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Bring a tranquil coastal aesthetic into your living space with the Hexagon Crystal Ocean Mosaic Tile. This design expertly merges natural stone craftsmanship with luminous glass art by pairing pristine White Thassos Marble with shimmering Blue Crystal Glass. The pure white marble chips anchor the layout, while the translucent blue glass chips refract light, creating depth and visual interest.

Pre-assembled on flexible 11.75" x 12" mesh-backed sheets (covering approximately 0.98 sq. ft. per sheet), the classic 2" x 2" hexagon geometry aligns easily over flat or curved surfaces. At a substantial 3/8" (8mm) thickness, this mosaic is built for long-lasting structural strength. Finished with a factory mirror-polish, it is well-suited for spa shower walls, kitchen backsplashes, vanity accent panels, and residential shower floors.

✨ KEY FEATURES

• Glass & Marble Material Blend: Combines translucent Blue Crystal glass chips with high-purity White Thassos natural marble.

• Light-Refracting Depth: The polished glass chips catch incoming ambient light, casting a subtle ocean-inspired shimmer across the room.

• Classic 2" x 2" Hexagon Geometry: Symmetric geometric layout introduces high-end architectural order to walls and floors.

• Mesh-Mounted Assembly: Pre-spaced individual tile chips on fiberglass backing sheets simplify installation and cutting.

• High-Traction Floor Performance: Dense network of geometric joint lines naturally provides slip resistance in wet shower pan applications.

🛠️ INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: THINSET SELECTION & MARBLE PRE-SEALING

Because this mosaic features translucent blue glass alongside porous white Thassos marble, you must install this sheet using a premium, Pure White polymer-modified thinset mortar specifically approved for glass and stone. Standard gray mortar will show directly through the translucent glass chips and permanently shadow the white marble.

In addition, dry cutting stone and glass releases airborne silica dust. Always use a wet tile saw equipped with a continuous-rim diamond glass/stone blade to control dust and prevent chipping.

Manufacturer Recommendations

• Suggested Grout: Pair with a high-performance Non-Sanded Grout or specialized urethane grout (e.g., Bostik Trucolor White H152). Avoid standard coarse sanded grout, as quartz grains can scratch the polished glass face.

• Mandatory Pre-Sealing: The Thassos marble components must be sealed with a high-grade, solvent-based penetrating stone sealer before grouting. This prevents the porous white stone from absorbing colored grout dyes.

• Substrate Flattening: Because glass chips show trowel ridge lines when pressed, flatten the combed mortar ridges using the flat edge of your trowel before embedding the sheets.

💡 PRO INSTALLATION TIPS

• The Multi-Box Palette Blend: Natural Thassos marble carries slight organic veining shifts. Open and shuffle sheets from 3 to 4 boxes simultaneously before fixing them down to achieve a balanced color mix across your wall or floor.

• Rubber Float Pressing: To keep all 2" x 2" hexagons flat without pushing glass corners too deep into the thinset, press the sheets firmly into the mortar using a clean, flat rubber grout float.

• Interlocking Seam Alignment: Pay extra attention to the interlocking puzzle edges where sheets meet. Align the sheets so the perimeter spacing matches the internal 1/8" joints on each sheet, hiding seam lines.

💬 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can this glass and marble hexagon tile be used on shower floors?

A: Yes. The 2x2 hexagon format provides a dense grid of grout joints, offering great slip resistance and grip underfoot in wet shower environments.

Q: Can this mosaic tile be installed in swimming pools or waterlines?

A: Yes, provided an appropriate waterproof membrane and high-grade glass-thinset adhesive are utilized. Always confirm with your installer that the pool chemistry is balanced to prevent marble etching.

Q: What is the recommended overage allowance for this pattern?

A: Include a 10% to 15% waste allowance in your square footage calculations. Hexagon mosaic sheets require perimeter cuts along straight borders, niches, and drains
