Off-white background with clean, pale gray, lined veins Beautiful contemporary pattern rarely found in nature Each tile is unique, but there is consistency in the pattern Glossy sheen, polished finish Ideal for creating a feature wall, or kitchen backsplash Tell me about the stone With its sweeping clean lines and monotone color palette, Cafe Ole marble is the perfect contemporary marble. Off-white with pale gray, layered veins, it's a stunning example of the consistency of nature. There is some difference in the thickness and density of the lines, a by-product of its natural origins, but there is one thing that is consistent, and that is the straightness of the lines. These can be used to create a feeling of length or height in a room. Laid horizontally on a kitchen backsplash, they will make your home will feel larger and more spacious, or lift that bathroom ceiling by installing them vertically, adding a feeling of height to a room.Marble is the ultimate in elegance and luxury and correct temperature and pressure are applied. This causes the material to harden into a perfectly formed stone. Marble comes in a huge variety of colors and patterns, creating some of the most picturesque designs that nature can make. Marble is a porous stone, and therefore must be sealed to ensure its moisture resistance, however, once this has taken place, it is suitability hardwearing for decorative applications. Tell me about the tile's finish The exquisite layered pattern of the stone requires a finish that will brighten and clarify. A polished finish allows light to bounce off its surface, highlighting the pale background, and deepening those gray veins. This is achieved by initially grinding the stone down to a perfectly level surface. Then the stone is buffed until it reaches a glossy sheen. This process requires removing a large part of the surface of the stone to reveal the brightened, reflective surface underneath. It's a stunning finish reserved for the most decorative stones. It even makes a great design feature on floors, kitchen backsplashes or bathroom wall tiles. What overall look will I achieve? Cafe Ole's clean lines and muted gray coloring is a stunning example of contemporary design within a natural material. Create a totally on-trend bathroom with a white or gray gloss suite, and Cafe Ole marble as a feature wall. Backlight your bathroom mirror to add a hotel-inspired, high-end touch. Modern kitchens are given a subtle design edge with Cafe Ole marble backsplashes. Contrast their glossy sheen with matte kitchen cupboards and bright lighting for a super chic, up-to-the-minute design. This is a natural stone like no other. Man-made materials may try to replicate it, but nothing comes close to the uniqueness of a real Cafe Ole marble.
