Product Overview

Elysium Hexagon Spring 2" × 2" Polished Marble Mosaic Tile blends three distinctive natural marbles into a fresh, organic palette. Sage-green Ming Green marble anchors the composition, while warm Calacatta Gold and luminous Greek Thassos White introduce creamy white, soft gray, beige, and occasional golden mineral movement.

Uniform 2-inch hexagons create a clean honeycomb pattern across an 11.75" × 12" mesh-mounted sheet. The polished finish enhances each stone’s natural color and veining, giving the installation reflective depth and one-of-a-kind variation.

Hexagon Spring is designed for interior walls and suitable floors, including kitchen backsplashes, vanity walls, shower surrounds, bathroom floors, decorative niches, and statement features.

Recommended Applications

• Kitchen Backsplashes: Introduces natural sage green and warm marble variation behind ranges, sinks, and beverage areas.

• Bathroom and Vanity Walls: Creates a polished organic backdrop behind mirrors, vanities, and decorative lighting.

• Shower Walls and Niches: Suitable over a complete approved waterproofing system using white mortar formulated for natural marble.

• Residential Bathroom Floors: The 2-inch hexagon pattern provides frequent grout joints, but the marble faces remain polished and require appropriate maintenance.

• Decorative Commercial Interiors: May be considered for boutique, hospitality, reception, and feature installations where the marble’s maintenance requirements are acceptable.

• Fireplace Façades: Adds color and natural-stone texture outside required heat-clearance zones.

• Shower Floors: Elysium lists the product for shower-floor use. Because no wet DCOF value is published, confirm suitability with the installer and applicable local requirements.

Installation & Handling Guidelines

⚠️ IMPORTANT: MIXED NATURAL-MARBLE INSTALLATION

This mosaic combines three different marbles with varying colors, porosity, and mineral structures. Test the complete mortar, grout, and sealing system before installation.

• Inspect Before Installation: Examine every sheet for color, finish, chip spacing, damage, and natural variation before setting.

• Dry-Lay and Blend: Open several cartons and arrange the sheets in advance. Balance green, white, gray, beige, and gold pieces throughout the surface.

• White Mortar: Use a premium white polymer-modified mortar approved for light-colored natural marble and the installation environment.

• Substrate Preparation: Install over a clean, flat, dry, stable substrate. Correct irregularities before setting the mosaic.

• Trowel Selection: Use a small-notched trowel appropriate for the approximately 8 mm mosaic. Flatten prominent mortar ridges before placing the sheets.

• Mortar Coverage: Obtain complete, uniform support beneath every hexagon, particularly in floor and wet-area applications.

• Sheet Alignment: Match the spacing between adjoining sheets to the spacing within each sheet. Adjust perimeter chips as necessary to prevent visible sheet lines.

• Embedding: Use a clean grout float or padded beating block to press sheets evenly into the mortar without scratching the polished surface.

• Pre-Sealing: Apply a penetrating sealer approved for all three marble types before grouting. Test first because some sealers may deepen the Ming Green coloration.

• Grout Selection: Use unsanded grout or a fine-aggregate grout confirmed safe for polished marble. Test for scratching, pigment staining, and discoloration.

• Grout Color: Elysium recommends white. Warm white or very pale gray may also complement the mixed-stone palette after testing.

• Wet-Area Waterproofing: Install shower applications over a complete waterproofing and drainage system. Stone sealer does not provide waterproofing.

• Movement Accommodation: Include perimeter and field movement joints following TCNA EJ171 and applicable construction requirements.

• Cutting: Wet-cut with a clean continuous-rim diamond blade designed for marble. Support individual hexagons carefully to prevent chipping.

• Silica Safety: Never dry-cut or grind. Marble fabrication releases hazardous respirable crystalline-silica dust.

• Order Allowance: Add approximately 10–15% for cuts, sheet blending, natural variation, breakage, and future repairs.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean with warm water and a neutral-pH cleaner formulated for natural marble.

• Avoid vinegar, lemon, acidic bathroom cleaners, bleach, abrasive powders, and aggressive scrubbing pads.

• Wipe up cosmetics, oils, wine, citrus, and strongly pigmented spills promptly.

• Use microfiber cloths, soft sponges, or non-abrasive brushes.

• Reseal periodically according to exposure and the sealer manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Expect polished marble flooring to develop a natural patina in frequently walked or cleaned areas.

Design Profile

• Aesthetic Character: Organic contemporary, botanical luxury, Mediterranean, biophilic, and boutique-hotel design.

• Color Story: Sage and celadon green balanced by creamy white, soft gray, beige, and restrained golden accents.

• Pattern Character: A classic honeycomb layout animated by randomized mixed-marble color placement.

• Visual Advantage: The three-stone blend produces greater depth and variation than a single-color hexagon mosaic.

• Complementary Materials: White oak, walnut, warm-white quartz, Calacatta Gold marble, cream limestone, and handmade-look ceramic tile.

• Complementary Metals: Brushed brass, champagne bronze, polished nickel, and aged bronze.

• Suggested Grout Colors: White, warm white, ivory, or very pale gray.
