The Carrara Blue Grey White Marble 5” Hexagon Combination Mosaic presents a sophisticated and timeless design, meticulously crafted for an unparalleled aesthetic. This exquisite mosaic product displays an elegant pattern of interconnected hexagons, forming a harmonious and visually captivating surface.
At the core of its design, each hexagon primarily features the esteemed white Carrara marble. This central field boasts the stone's characteristic subtle grey veining, which gracefully intertwines across the pristine white base, lending an air of classic luxury. Enhancing this central beauty, each white hexagon is meticulously framed by a contrasting thin border, composed of small, richly hued dark grey-black marble square tiles, providing a distinct and elegant separation.
Further elevating the intricate pattern, this dark framing is gracefully followed by a lighter outer marble frame, which delicately completes the hexagon's complex outline. The entirety of this combination mosaic, encompassing the lustrous Carrara fields and its multi-layered marble borders, is presented with a refined honed finish. This smooth, matte surface enhances the natural beauty and tactile quality of the marble, creating an understated yet opulent ambiance.

Preguntas frecuentes
What is marble and what makes it popular for tiling?
Marble is a natural metamorphic stone prized for its distinctive veining, depth, and polished sheen. Each tile is unique, which gives it a luxurious, high-end look for floors, walls, and feature areas.
Where can marble tiles be used?
Marble suits walls, floors, splashbacks, feature walls, and bathrooms. For floors and high-traffic areas, a honed (matte) finish is often preferred over polished, as it shows wear and scratches less and offers better slip resistance.
Do marble tiles need to be sealed?
Yes. Marble is porous and acid-sensitive, so we recommend sealing before grouting and re-sealing periodically. A penetrating (impregnating) sealer helps protect against staining and etching, though it doesn't make the stone fully stain-proof.
Why is marble sensitive to acids?
Marble is calcium-based, so acidic substances — lemon juice, vinegar, wine, many household cleaners — react with the surface and cause dull marks known as "etching." This is why pH-neutral cleaning is essential.
Can marble be used in kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes, and both are popular. In kitchens, be aware that countertops and splashbacks near food prep are more prone to etching and staining, so sealing and prompt spill cleanup matter. In bathrooms, marble performs well when properly sealed.
Can marble be used outdoors?
It can in milder climates, but marble is generally less suited to harsh outdoor conditions than slate or porcelain. Check the specific tile's frost rating and expect that exterior exposure may affect the finish over time.
Why do the marble tiles vary in color and veining?
Marble is a natural product, so veining, shade, and movement vary from tile to tile and batch to batch. We recommend ordering all tiles for a project at once and dry-laying from several boxes to blend the variation for a balanced look.
How do I clean and maintain marble?
Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth or mop. Avoid acidic, abrasive, or general-purpose cleaners, wipe spills promptly, and use mats or coasters in areas exposed to liquids. Reapply sealer as recommended for your tile.
Are marble tiles slippery?
Polished marble can be slippery when wet, so for wet areas and floors a honed or textured finish is recommended. Adding rugs or mats in key spots also helps.
Can mosaic sheets be cut to fit?
Yes. Individual pieces can be removed from the backing, and sheets can be trimmed with tile nippers or a wet saw to fit edges and corners.
How are mosaics installed?
The sheets are bedded into adhesive like standard tiles, then grouted once set. Because of the many small joints, a slightly more flexible adhesive and careful grouting give the best finish.
Where can mosaics be used?
On walls and floors, including splashbacks, feature walls, shower areas, and borders. For floors, check that the specific mosaic is rated for floor use.
What are the mosaic sheets backed with?
Most mosaics are supplied on a mesh or paper backing that holds the individual pieces in position for easy installation. Sheets are designed to butt together so the joints stay consistent.
¿Cuánta superficie cubre cada box?
Cada box cubre aproximadamente 5.6 pies cuadrados. Calcule el área a cubrir y añada un 10% extra para cortes y desperdicio.
¿Puedo pedir una muestra antes de comprar?
Sí. Para este producto puede pedir una muestra tipo swatch o una muestra de tamaño completo antes de hacer un pedido completo.
