Hexagon Royal Calacatta Gold: Regal Sophistication in a Bold Format

Elevate your interior design with the Hexagon Royal Calacatta Gold 12 x 13.75 polished marble tile. This isn't your average mosaic; the "Royal" series features a larger-format hexagon that reimagines classic Italian marble for contemporary spaces. With its crisp white backdrop and signature dramatic gold and grey veining, this tile creates a seamless, expansive "honeycomb" effect that adds movement and luxury to any room.

Why Choose Royal Calacatta Gold?

• Oversized Geometric Scale: The 12" x 13.75" format reduces grout lines, making small rooms feel larger and more open.

• Premium Polished Finish: A high-gloss surface that reflects light beautifully, perfect for dim hallways or luxury master baths.

• Authentic Italian Marble: Every sheet is unique, ensuring a one-of-a-kind installation with natural variations in honey-gold tones.

• Versatile Application: Rated for both residential and commercial use on walls and floors.

🧼 Maintenance & Care Guide

To preserve the luminous shine and structural integrity of your natural marble, follow these professional care tips:

• Seal Before & After Grouting: Marble is a natural, porous stone. Use a high-quality penetrating sealer (like 511 Impregnator) to protect against oils, water, and stains.

• pH-Neutral Cleaning: Only use cleaners specifically formulated for natural stone. Never use acidic cleaners (like vinegar or lemon), bleach, or harsh bathroom sprays, as they will "etch" (eat into) the polished surface.

• Address Spills Immediately: Because of the gold and grey mineral content, acidic spills (wine, coffee, tomato sauce) can stain if left to sit. Wipe them up promptly with a soft cloth.

• Soft Grout Cleanup: During installation, ensure all grout haze is removed quickly to prevent it from dulling the polished finish of the marble.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can this tile be used on shower floors? A: While marble is water-resistant when sealed, the polished finish can be slippery when wet. We generally recommend this specific 12 x 13.75 size for shower walls or bathroom floors. For shower floors, a honed (matte) finish or a smaller hexagon is often preferred for better slip resistance.

Q: How many sheets do I need for my project? A: Each sheet covers approximately 1.15 sq. ft. Always calculate your total square footage and add 10–15% extra for cuts, waste, and pattern matching.

Q: What is the difference between "Royal" Calacatta and standard Calacatta? A: The "Royal" designation in this Elysium collection typically refers to the larger format of the hexagon and a higher selection grade of stone, featuring more pronounced gold veining and a whiter base.

Q: What grout color works best? A: To keep the look clean and seamless, we recommend Bostik Trucolor White (H152) or a soft "Warm Grey." Avoid dark grouts, as they can sometimes "bleed" into the pores of natural white marble if not sealed properly first.

Q: Is this tile suitable for radiant heating floors? A: Yes! Natural marble is an excellent conductor of heat and is fully compatible with under-floor radiant heating systems.
