Achieve an exceptional standard of interior luxury with the Alpina White Honed Octagon Marble Tile paired with exquisite Calacatta Viola inserts.

The resulting geometric pattern yields a high-end, artistic layout that effortlessly transforms floors and walls alike.
Meticulously cut from premium natural stone lots, this choice collection boasts an expertly ground honed finish. This surface treatment delivers a smooth, satin-matte texture that feels magnificent underfoot while softening ambient light reflection.

Professional Installation & Substrate Management
To establish an everlasting, pristine installation, please adhere to strict premium tiling protocols. We heavily advise planning for a 10% to 15% material wastage allowance to comfortably cover manual cutting profiles, intricate cornering, and layout adjustments.
Because premium natural marble is highly receptive to liquid transfer, use an ultra-flexible, rapid-setting S2 Flexible White Tile Adhesive. This stops shadowing or adhesive discoloration bleeding up to the tile face. The loose marble octagon and viola pieces must be fully treated with a premium impregnating sealer prior to applying grout to protect the open pores from absorbing grout color pigments.
Care, Preservation, and Lifetime Maintenance
Preserve the matte luster of your natural marble surface through proper daily maintenance. Wash down surfaces using a soft cloth combined with a dedicated pH-neutral stone cleaner. Completely avoid acidic, alkaline, or abrasive cleaning formulas, as household chemicals can etch the crystalline surface and permanently cloud the marble's natural beauty.
