Cecily Pattern | 10.83" x 12.6" Polished Marble Mosaic Experience the regal artistry of natural stone with the Cecily Pattern. This premium mosaic features a luminous white marble background accented by delicate, flowing grey veining. Finished with a professional polished surface, the stone offers a brilliant, high-gloss shine that reflects light, making even small spaces feel grand and airy. Unlike flat subway tiles, the Cecily pattern uses geometric curves to create visual movement and architectural interest. It is the ultimate solution for finishing luxury "statement zones" such as kitchen backsplashes, primary bath feature walls, and fireplace surrounds where a standard tile would feel too simple.

Lifetime Material: As a natural metamorphic rock, this tile provides a permanent surface that adds tangible resale value to your home. Installation & Maintenance Tips Adhesive Selection: Use a White Thin-set specifically formulated for natural stone. Never use grey mortar, as it will darken the white marble from behind and ruin the "clean" aesthetic. Sealing: Being a natural, porous stone, we highly recommend applying a Penetrating Impregnating Sealer before grouting and again after installation to protect against oils and stains. Cutting: Due to the intricate curves of the Cecily pattern, use a wet saw with a high-quality diamond blade. You may need a "nibbler" tool or a smaller blade for fine detail cuts around outlets. Grout Choice: Use a non-sanded grout to avoid scratching the polished marble surface. "Avalanche" or "White" grout will create a seamless look, while a "Light Grey" grout will make the geometric pattern pop. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: Can this be used on a shower floor? A: While it is waterproof marble, the polished finish can be slippery when wet. It is most commonly used for shower walls or "dry" bathroom floors. If using on a floor, ensure a bath mat is present for safety. Q: How do I clean the polished finish? A: Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid acidic household cleaners (like vinegar, Windex, or bleach), which will "etch" the stone and turn the polished shine into a dull matte spot. Q: Is the pattern hard to line up? A: No. The mesh sheets are designed to "nest" into one another. When installed correctly, the seams between sheets become invisible, creating a continuous lace-like field. Q: How much should I order? A: Each sheet covers approximately 0.95 sq. ft. We recommend ordering 15% extra for this specific pattern because the geometric cuts at the edges of your wall will result in more waste than a standard square tile.
