FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is this tile suitable for shower floors? While this tile can be used on shower floors, polished marble can be slippery when wet. However, the frequent grout lines in a 1x3 herringbone pattern provide added traction. Always check local building codes for slip-resistance requirements. Does Angora marble vary in color? Yes. As a natural stone, Angora marble will feature unique variations in shading and veining from piece to piece. This "natural fingerprint" is what distinguishes real marble from synthetic alternatives. What grout color do you recommend for Angora Herringbone? For a seamless, soft look, we recommend a light cream or "Warm White" grout. If you want to emphasize the geometric zigzag of the herringbone, a light grey or taupe grout will make the pattern pop. Do I need to seal this mosaic? Yes. To protect the polished finish and the porous nature of the marble, we recommend applying a high-quality impregnating sealer before and after grouting. INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE TIPS Check Your Batch: Always inspect and dry-lay your sheets before thin-setting to ensure a balanced distribution of the natural color variations. Use White Thinset: To prevent the adhesive from darkening the light-colored marble, always use a white polymer-modified thinset. Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral stone cleaner. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, which can "etch" or dull the polished surface over time. Grouting: Take care during the grouting process to ensure all the small 1x3 joints are completely filled for a uniform look.
