Care & Maintenance

• Installation Tips: Begin with a dry-fit to align veining evenly. Use white thin-set mortar to maintain color clarity, and aim for minimal grout spacing (~1/16″) for a seamless appearance.
• Sealing: Apply a high-quality, breathable sealer both before grouting and again after installation to protect the marble.
• Cleaning: Use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive products, which may etch or dull the marble’s surface.
• Natural Variation: Expect naturally occurring differences in tone and veining—the unique nuances that define marble’s beauty. Inspect tiles before installation for the most harmonious visual outcome.
