Our Stone Collections
We stock a curated range of premium natural stone. Due to the geological nature of these products, colour variation and veining are inherent characteristics that make your project unique.
A luxurious marble featuring a creamy white background with distinctive warm amber and golden veining. It creates a rich, inviting atmosphere ideal for feature bathrooms and kitchens.
The timeless Italian classic. Carrara White offers a cool, grey-white background with softer, feathery grey veining. It is the industry standard for a clean, elegant aesthetic.
A more robust, crystal-structured marble that often features subtle green or grey mineral deposits. It is incredibly durable and works beautifully in high-traffic areas.
Our Fitz collection often features striking contrasts and geometric forms, perfect for creating statement floors and modern installations.
💡
Pro Tip: If you are trying to match an existing floor, we strongly advise ordering a sample first. Natural stone quarries change over time, and current batches may differ from stone bought years ago.

Choosing the right finish is critical not just for aesthetics, but for safety and longevity.
Honed Finish (Matt)
A honed finish is created by grinding the stone to a smooth, flat, satin-like surface. It does not reflect light.
- Best for: Bathroom floors, wet rooms, kitchens, and high-traffic areas.
- Why: It offers better slip resistance than polished marble. Scratches and etching are also less visible on a honed surface.
Polished Finish (Gloss)
A polished finish creates a high-gloss, reflective surface that enhances the vibrancy of the stone's colours and veining.
- Best for: Wall cladding, vanity tops, and decorative borders.
- Caution: Polished marble is slippery when wet. We generally advise against using it on wet room floors unless treated with an anti-slip coating.

Our mosaics (including Checkerboard, Octagon, and Herringbone) are supplied on mesh-backed sheets. This allows for faster installation and ensures consistent spacing between the individual chips.
Installation Advice
When installing mosaic sheets, it is vital to "stagger" or interlock the sheets carefully. If sheets are laid in a perfect grid without care, you may see visible "tramlines" where the sheets join. Your tiler should adjust the chips manually if necessary to ensure a seamless pattern.
Grouting
Because mosaics have a higher ratio of grout-to-stone than large tiles, the choice of grout colour dramatically changes the final look.
- Contrast: Using dark grout on white marble highlights the geometric pattern.
- Blend: Using white or light grey grout creates a subtle, softer texture.
Warning: Always seal the mosaic sheets before grouting. This prevents the grout pigment from bleeding into the porous stone.

We deliver throughout the UK using a third-party pallet network. To ensure a smooth process, please read the following guidelines carefully.
What is "Kerbside Delivery"?
For insurance and health & safety reasons, our drivers are only insured to deliver goods to the nearest accessible kerbside. They cannot bring pallets into your driveway, garage, or inside your home.
The delivery vehicle will have a tail-lift to lower the pallet to the ground. The ground must be a flat, hard-standing surface (tarmac or concrete). Pallet trucks cannot operate on gravel, grass, or loose soil.
Inspecting for Damages
Stone is fragile. While we pack our crates securely, damage can occasionally occur in transit.
- Check upon arrival: Inspect the outside of the crate/pallet before signing the driver's manifest.
- Report within 24 hours: If you discover broken tiles, you must email cs@intmarble.com within 24 hours of delivery.
- Photos required: Please attach clear photos of the damaged tiles and the crate.
Note: We advise ordering 10% extra for cuts and wastage. A small number of broken tiles (1-2%) is often unavoidable and can usually be used for cuts.

Cleaning & Care: The Golden Rules
Natural stone is an investment. With the correct maintenance, it will last a lifetime. Marble is a calcareous stone, meaning it is sensitive to acids.
1. Sealing is Mandatory
All natural stone tiles must be sealed. Sealing creates a barrier that prevents water, oil, and dirt from penetrating the pores of the stone.
- When: Seal tiles once before grouting (to prevent grout haze) and once after grouting (to seal the grout lines).
- Frequency: Re-seal your stone every 12–24 months depending on foot traffic.
2. Avoid Acids
Never use standard supermarket bathroom cleaners, bleach, vinegar, or lemon juice on marble. Acid eats into the calcium carbonate, leaving dull, white spots known as "etch marks".
3. Routine Cleaning
Use a specialist pH-neutral stone cleaner (such as products from Lithofin or HG) for daily or weekly mopping. For stubborn stains, please contact our support team for specific advice.

We want you to be delighted with your order. However, if you have over-ordered or changed your mind, our returns policy is as follows:
- Timeframe: Returns must be initiated within 14 days of receipt.
- Condition: We can only accept full, unopened boxes. Loose tiles or opened boxes are not resellable and cannot be refunded.
- Batch Shading: We cannot accept returns of leftover tiles from a project completed months ago, as these cannot be sold with current batches due to shade variation.
- Return Shipping: The customer is responsible for the cost of returning goods to our warehouse. Goods must be secured on a pallet to prevent transit damage.
- Restocking Fee: A restocking fee may apply to cover warehouse handling. Please check your invoice for details.
