Product Overview

Thassos White with Ming Green Marble Arched Chevron Weave Mosaic Tile (commonly referred to as the Berlinetta or Arched Chevron design) is a luxury waterjet-cut natural stone mosaic. It pairs pure, crystalline Thassos White marble (quarried in Greece) with soft, jade-toned Ming Green marble (quarried in China) arranged in a dimensional, interlocking woven geometric pattern.

Mounted on flexible mesh-backed sheets, this mosaic combines crisp white field bands with subtle celadon-green accents to create a contemporary Art Deco visual. It is widely specified for master shower feature walls, vanity backsplashes, powder room accent fields, and high-end residential flooring.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Applications

• Master Shower & Bathroom Feature Walls: Delivers an elegant, spa-like focal wall behind freestanding tubs, inside shower enclosures, and along vanity mirrors.

• Kitchen Backsplashes: Adds subtle mint-green and white geometric texture behind kitchen counters, complementing light quartz, marble tops, and brass hardware.

• Powder Room Floors & Accent Borders: The micro-mesh grid provides frequent grout lines, offering foot traction for residential bathroom floors while serving as a decorative statement.

Installation & Handling Guidelines

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: NATURAL MARBLE & MING GREEN PROTOCOL

• White Thinset Mortar MANDATORY: ALWAYS install natural Thassos and Ming Green marble using a white polymer-modified thinset mortar (such as MAPEI® Ultraflex 2 White or LATICRETE® 254 Platinum White). Standard grey mortars will bleed through translucent white Thassos marble and discolour the natural stone.

• Moisture-Sensitive Ming Green: Ming Green marble is a soft, calcite/serpentine stone that can absorb moisture rapidly during setting. Work in small sections and avoid over-saturating tiles during cleaning.

• Sealing Prior to Grouting (Required): Apply a high-quality impregnating natural stone sealer (such as Miracle 511 Impregnator or Stonetech BulletProof) to tile surfaces before grouting. This prevents dark grout pigments from staining porous marble pores and waterjet cuts.

• Grout Selection: Use a fine-aggregate or non-sanded high-performance grout (such as MAPEI® Ultracolor Plus FA in White or Frost) to fill the small geometric joints cleanly without scratching polished surfaces.

Professional Recommendations

• Dry Lay & Sheet Alignment: Unbox and dry-lay mosaic sheets before final setting to randomize natural stone shading and ensure the interlocking arched chevron weave aligns continuously across sheet boundaries.

• Shower Floor Wet Zones: If installed on shower floors, ensure a complete waterproofing membrane system is installed beneath thinset.

Care & Maintenance

• Routine Cleaning: Wipe down using warm water and a pH-neutral natural stone cleaner.

• Avoid Acidic Cleaners: Never use vinegar, bleach, ammonia, citrus cleaners, or harsh scouring powders. Acids will etch natural marble and permanently dull polished or honed stone finishes.

• Periodic Sealing: Re-apply a penetrating stone sealer once a year (or per manufacturer guidance) to preserve stain resistance against soaps, oils, and cosmetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Thassos & Ming Green Marble Mosaic be used on shower floors?

Yes! The frequent grout lines created by the geometric mesh-backed tiles offer certified slip resistance under wet feet, making it suitable for walk-in shower pans. Ensure white thinset and proper stone sealers are used.

Is Ming Green marble natural or dyed stone?

Ming Green is 100% natural marble quarried in Asia. Its subtle green hues come from natural mineral deposits (such as chlorite and serpentine), resulting in soft organic variations from light mint to jade green.

Does this mosaic require sealers?

Yes. Both Thassos White and Ming Green are natural marbles with micro-porous structures. Applying a penetrating stone sealer before grouting and annually thereafter is essential to prevent staining.
