Expertly hand-selected and configured by M S International (MSI) from premium geological runs of high-density marble, this premium cladding panel shifts vertical masonry away from dark, rustic slate styles and directly into warm, transitional luxury. The color canvas presents an exceptionally rich and comforting warm neutral spectrum: \u003cb\u003ea dominant base of velvety cream, soft ivory, and warm alabaster tones, beautifully detailed with floating beige clouds and elegant, warm golden-amber mineral veining\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eXL Series\u003c\/b\u003e is purposefully engineered to establish physical depth and clean structural alignment on grand structural planes. Royal Cream features an authentic \u003cb\u003eSplitface finish\u003c\/b\u003e—meaning the natural marble is mechanically fractured along its organic crystalline faults to reveal a highly textured, unpolished cleft.

For outdoor facades, barbecue surrounds, or surrounding an open fireplace hearth, applying a premium, non-yellowing \u003cb\u003epenetrating\/impregnating sealer\u003c\/b\u003e is highly mandatory. This invisible layer blocks rainwater absorption and shields the light-colored marble from soot discoloration or efflorescence (white mineral salts bleeding out of the mortar).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan this splitface stone look be installed inside a wet shower enclosure?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, this is highly discouraged. While it handles exterior storm rain perfectly due to open-air evaporation, the dense, un-grouted crevices of a dry-stack ledger panel will trap falling body oils, soap scum, and hard water minerals in an indoor enclosed shower. Over time, this leads to mold growth that is nearly impossible to scrub out. Keep this tile limited to dry accent walls, fireplaces, and outdoor facades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRO DESIGN TIPS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Pre-Formed Corner Solution:\u003c\/b\u003e If wrapping an outward 90-degree corner (such as an exterior support pillar or a three-sided fireplace), pair these flat panels with matching \u003ci\u003eXL Royal Cream Corner L-Pieces (9\" x 12\" x 6\")\u003c\/i\u003e.
