Carrara White Honed Italian Marble Tile (150 x 300mm)

The Epitome of Italian Sophistication

Invite the legacy of Ancient Rome into your modern sanctuary. The Carrara White Honed Italian Marble Tile is not merely a building material; it is a piece of history, an emblem of nobility, and a statement of refined taste.

Sourced from the heart of Italy, this exquisite natural stone features the iconic crystalline white background adorned with soft, sweeping grey veins. While polished marble dazzles with shine, our Honed finish whispers luxury. It offers a satin-smooth, matte surface that is velvety to the touch, providing a contemporary, understated elegance that high-gloss surfaces simply cannot match.

A Privileged Atmosphere

Nobility and aristocracy have used marble as a status symbol for centuries. Now, you can bring that same rich texture and privileged atmosphere to your own home.

The 150x300mm (approx. 6" x 12") rectangular format is the architect’s choice for versatility. Whether arranged in a traditional brick-bond pattern for a timeless bathroom, or a striking herringbone layout for a kitchen splashback, the unique movement of the natural veins ensures that no two tiles—and no two rooms—are ever exactly alike.

Key Features

• Authentic Italian Origin: Genuine natural stone quarried in Italy, ensuring the highest prestige and quality.

• Premium Honed Finish: A smooth, matte surface that diffuses light, creating a soft ambiance while hiding water spots and smudges better than polished marble.

• Endless Decor Possibilities: The neutral white and grey palette serves as the perfect canvas for both classic and modern interior styles.

• Durable Elegance: At 10mm thick, this tile is perfectly calibrated for both floor and wall installations.

Installation & Care Advice

Natural Beauty requires Natural Care. As a porous natural stone, Carrara Marble adds character to your home that improves with age. To maintain its pristine white appearance, we recommend:

1. Sealing: Always use a high-quality penetrating sealer before grouting and immediately after installation to protect against moisture and staining.

2. Cleaning: Clean with pH-neutral products specifically designed for natural stone. Avoid acidic cleaners (like vinegar or lemon) which can etch the surface.

3. Grout Choice: We recommend a non-sanded grout in White or Silver Grey to complement the natural veining without overpowering the stone.

Unique Character in Each Slab: Understanding Natural Variations at IntMarble

At IntMarble, we specialize in offering an exquisite range of natural stones, each characterized by unique variations that make it an individual work of art. While we go to great lengths to provide accurate imagery and samples, it's crucial to understand that these can't fully encapsulate the natural variations intrinsic to each stone.

Why Does Variation Occur?

Natural stones are Mother Nature's masterpieces. As such, each piece showcases unique aspects such as color variations, diverse veining patterns, and intricate movements. While our categorization methods aim to capture these characteristics, photographs and samples have their limitations.

Before You Install: Crucial Steps to Take

We highly advise that all customers unpack and inspect their stone products prior to installation. This allows you to fully grasp the unique features of each piece and ensures that they align with your design expectations.

Disclaimer

It's essential to recognize that the natural variations you'll encounter in our stone products are not flaws. Rather, they are what make each piece distinct and extraordinarily beautiful. Our return and exchange policies are designed with this natural uniqueness in mind, so please review them carefully prior to your purchase.

Your Satisfaction Is Our Mission

Customer satisfaction ranks high on our list of priorities. If you have any queries or concerns regarding the natural stone you've acquired, our customer service team is just a call or email away. We're here to guide you at each step—right from selection to the final installation.
