When it comes to color, personal taste is key. Luckily, we offer a wide spectrum to suit every style!

Prefer a timeless and neutral palette? Explore our beautiful selection of white, cream, and neutral beige marble tiles. These versatile shades create a sophisticated and calming atmosphere. If you're drawn to bolder hues, we also offer marble in deeper colors like black.

When it comes to sizing, marble tile sizes range from large-format slabs, field tiles, to intricate mosaics. The best size for your space depends on the scale of the project and the look you want to achieve. Larger tiles can make smaller spaces feel more open, while smaller tiles are perfect for creating detailed patterns — from classic herringbone marble tiles to elegant basketweave tiles or even soft, flowing floral marble tiles that bring an artisanal touch to any room.

For example, our Beige 3x6 Polished, Beveled Marble Subway Tile is a classic choice for a kitchen marble tile backsplash. Its warm, creamy tones and beveled edges add a touch of understated elegance, perfect for a traditional or transitional kitchen design. 

For a truly unique and eye-catching feature, consider our marble mosaic backsplash options. Our White 11x12 Polished Marble Mosaic Tile is ideal for creating a stunning focal point, such as a fireplace surround. The polished finish reflects light beautifully, adding a touch of glamour to the space.

If you're looking for something more contemporary, our Gray 12x12 Polished Marble Mosaic Tile, crafted using a precise waterjet technique, offers clean lines and a modern aesthetic. The intricate geometric pattern adds visual interest and sophistication, much like our linear marble tiles, which are perfect for minimalist spaces that still crave visual texture. Both of these marble mosaic tiles offer a luxurious feel and can elevate any design.

Finally, the finish: polished or honed? Both offer unique qualities. Polished marble reflects light, creating a bright and glamorous look, ideal for formal spaces. Honed marble has a softer, more matte finish, offering a subtle elegance and hiding minor scratches more effectively.

Consider the overall style of your space and the level of foot traffic when making your decision. A polished finish is ideal for formal areas like a marble tile floor in hotel lobbies, while a honed finish might be better suited for bathrooms or kitchens where slip resistance is a concern. We also recommend going for mosaic marble flooring if you’re keen on using marble tiles in the shower area. 

No matter your vision, there's a marble tile to bring it to life. Come explore our extensive collection and discover the perfect marble for your project!

Installation and Maintenance Tips for Marble Tiles 

Marble tiles bring an undeniable elegance to any space, but their installation and maintenance differ slightly from other tile types. Because marble is a natural stone, it's more porous and requires specific handling to preserve its beauty and longevity.  Here's what you need to know:

Installation:

• Substrate Preparation: Like any tile installation, a stable and level substrate is crucial. However, with marble, it's especially important to ensure the substrate is free of any debris or imperfections that could scratch the delicate surface.

• Thin-Set Mortar:  Use a high-quality, non-modified thin-set mortar specifically designed for natural stone.  Avoid using epoxy thin-set unless absolutely necessary, as it can sometimes discolor the marble.  A white thin-set is often preferred for lighter-colored marbles to prevent darkening.

• Sealing Before Grouting:  Before grouting, it's highly recommended to pre-seal the marble tiles. This helps prevent the grout from staining the porous stone. Use a penetrating sealer designed for natural stone.

• Grouting:  Use a sanded grout for larger grout lines and an unsanded grout for smaller ones.  Be careful when grouting, as some grouts can stain certain types of marble.  Test the grout on a scrap piece of tile first.  Clean off excess grout immediately and thoroughly.

• Sealing After Grouting: After the grout has cured, seal the marble tiles again with a penetrating sealer.  This is a crucial step in protecting your investment.

Maintenance:

• Regular Cleaning:  Clean your marble surfaces regularly with a neutral pH cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone.  Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or acidic substances like vinegar or lemon juice, as these can etch or dull the surface.  A soft cloth or mop is best.

• Sealing:  Marble needs to be resealed periodically, typically every 1-2 years, depending on the type of marble and the level of use.  Reapply a penetrating sealer designed for natural stone to maintain its protection against stains and water damage.  Test the sealer in an inconspicuous area first.

• Stain Removal:  Blot spills immediately.  For specific stains, consult a professional stone cleaner or refer to resources that provide stain removal advice for marble.  Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.

• Protecting from Etching:  Be mindful of acidic substances that can etch marble, such as citrus juices, wine, and certain cleaning products.  Use coasters under drinks and trivets under hot dishes.

• Professional Cleaning:  Consider having your marble professionally cleaned and polished every few years to remove any buildup and restore its original shine.

By following these installation and maintenance guidelines, you can ensure that your marble tiles remain beautiful and durable for years to come, adding a touch of timeless elegance to your space.
