Pietra Grey 2x2" Hexagon Matte Mosaic Tile

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On walls and floors, including splashbacks, feature walls, shower areas, and borders. For floors, check that the specific mosaic is rated for floor use.

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.

Each box covers approximately 8.0 square feet. Measure the area you need to cover and add about 10% extra for cuts and waste.
