The Large Dolomite Honed 2" Penny Round is a contemporary evolution of the classic penny mosaic. designers are moving away from tiny $¾$” rounds in favor of this larger 2-inch "oversize" penny, which offers a bolder, more architectural look while maintaining the soft, organic curves that make penny tiles so beloved.

Sourced from premium Turkish Bianco Dolomite, this stone is prized for its milky-white "arctic" base and its very subtle, ethereal grey clouding.

Elevate your interior with the "Quiet Luxury" of Large Dolomite Penny Rounds. This premium mosaic takes the iconic circular format and scales it up to a 2-inch diameter, providing a cleaner look with slightly fewer grout lines than traditional small pennies. The Honed (Matte) finish offers a velvety, satin-like surface that feels incredible underfoot and eliminates harsh light reflections.

The signature Dolomite palette is significantly whiter than Carrara, offering a crisp, high-end neutral that works perfectly in "Modern Organic," "Japandi," and "Coastal Zen" aesthetics.

Why Choose the 2" Large Penny over the 1" Penny?

• Modern Scale: The 2-inch size feels more intentional and modern, making it a better fit for larger primary bathrooms where small pennies can sometimes look too "busy."

• Luminous Purity: Bianco Dolomite lacks the heavy blue/grey veins of other marbles, ensuring your floor looks bright, clean, and expansive.

• Superior Safety: Even in the larger 2-inch format, the circular edges provide a dense network of grout lines, offering excellent slip resistance for walk-in showers.

• Honed Elegance: The matte finish is more forgiving than polished marble; it hides water spots, scratches, and etch marks much more effectively in high-use areas.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• White Thinset Only: Mandatory: Use a high-quality white polymer-modified thinset. Grey mortar will "bleed" through the translucent white Dolomite, turning it a muddy grey.

• Grout Selection: For a seamless "cloud-like" floor, use a grout in "Bright White" or "Avalanche." To highlight the "large button" geometry, choose a "Light Silver" or "Warm Grey."

• Sealing: As a natural marble, Dolomite is porous. Apply a high-quality impregnating sealer before grouting (as a grout release) and after installation for long-term protection.

• Care: Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid acidic products (vinegar, bleach, or harsh "scrubbing" bubbles), which will etch the marble surface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is Dolomite Marble harder than Carrara? A: Yes. Dolomite is a denser variety of marble, making it slightly more resistant to moisture absorption and wear, which is why it is highly recommended for shower floors.

Q: Can I use this for a kitchen backsplash? A: Absolutely. The 2-inch rounds provide a stunning, tactile backdrop that pairs beautifully with white quartz or light wood cabinetry.

Q: How many sheets are in a box? A: Standard packaging is typically 10 sheets per box, covering roughly 9.8 to 10 square feet. We recommend adding 15% extra for cuts around drains and edges.

Q: Does it have a lot of grey veining? A: No. Bianco Dolomite is known for being "Low Variation." Expect a mostly white field with very soft, misty grey shadows.
