Ensure that a responsible person is present upon delivery to:

Please inform us in advance of any local access issues such as narrow lanes, repair works, or road closures. We'll make alternate arrangements if needed, possibly incurring an extra charge for a smaller vehicle or re-delivery.
Cancelling Your Order:
To cancel your order, contact cs@intmarble.com within two hours of placing it. Orders are dispatched quickly, and redelivery charges may apply if the order has already left our premises.
Changing Your Order:
We can amend quantities, delivery dates, or addresses if you contact us within two hours of placing your order. After this window, redelivery charges may apply.
Late Deliveries:
Occasionally, external factors like traffic or weather may cause delivery delays beyond our control. We'll do our best to notify you of any delays. We recommend not scheduling tradespersons until after your order has been delivered.

Natural Temperature Regulation
Marble naturally stays cool, making it an excellent choice for warmer climates or spaces that receive abundant sunlight. This natural cooling property makes Bianco Gioia Venatino marble tiles particularly desirable for bathroom floors and kitchen surfaces.
Unique Natural Beauty
As a product of nature, each 305x305x10mm tile features unique veining patterns and subtle color variations, ensuring that your installation will be truly one-of-a-kind.

Installation Guide for Bianco Gioia Venatino Marble Tiles
Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and level before installation. For optimal results, use a cement backer board for wall installations and a suitable subfloor for flooring applications. Proper preparation is essential for a successful installation of your premium Italian marble tiles.
Adhesive Recommendation
Use a high-quality, polymer-modified thin-set adhesive specifically designed for natural stone. White adhesive is recommended to preserve the marble's natural color and prevent discoloration of your Bianco Gioia Venatino tiles.
Grouting
Allow adhesive to cure according to manufacturer's instructions before grouting. Use unsanded grout for joints less than 1/8" wide to prevent scratching the marble surface. For best results with these premium Italian marble tiles, choose a grout color that complements the white and grey tones.
Sealing
Apply a penetrating sealer designed for natural stone before and after grouting to protect against stains and enhance the marble's natural beauty. Reapply sealer every 12-18 months or as needed to maintain the pristine appearance of your Bianco Gioia Venatino marble tiles.
Professional Installation
For best results, we recommend professional installation by experienced tile setters familiar with natural stone materials. Professional installation ensures your premium Italian marble tiles are properly set, maximizing their beauty and longevity.
Maintenance Guide for Bianco Gioia Venatino Marble
Regular Cleaning
Clean with a pH-neutral cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone. Avoid acidic cleaners (including vinegar), as they can etch the marble surface. Regular maintenance will preserve the beauty of your Bianco Gioia Venatino marble tiles for years to come.
Spill Management
Wipe up spills immediately, especially acidic substances like wine, citrus juices, or tomato sauce, which can etch the surface. Prompt attention to spills will prevent permanent damage to your premium Italian marble tiles.
Preventative Care
Use coasters under glasses, place mats under dishes, and felt pads under decorative items to prevent scratches and etching on your Bianco Gioia Venatino marble surfaces. These simple precautions will help maintain the pristine condition of your natural stone investment.
Periodic Resealing
Reseal your marble tiles every 12-18 months or as needed to maintain stain resistance and preserve their beauty. Regular resealing is essential for maintaining the appearance and integrity of your Bianco Gioia Venatino marble tiles, especially in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
Professional Restoration
If your marble develops scratches or etching over time, professional restoration services can polish the surface to restore its original beauty. Even after years of use, your Bianco Gioia Venatino marble tiles can be refreshed to look like new with proper professional care.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bianco Gioia Venatino Marble Tiles
Is Bianco Gioia Venatino marble suitable for bathroom floors?
Yes, especially in the honed finish which provides better slip resistance. Always seal properly and maintain regularly to protect against moisture. Bianco Gioia Venatino marble tiles are an excellent choice for creating luxurious bathroom floors with their elegant white and grey tones.
How many 305x305x10mm Bianco Gioia Venatino tiles do I need?
For a square meter coverage, you'll need approximately 10.76 tiles (305x305mm ). We recommend ordering an additional 10-15% to account for cuts, breaks, and future repairs. Our calculator on the website can help you determine the exact quantity needed for your specific project.
Are Bianco Gioia Venatino marble tiles suitable for outdoor use?
We don't recommend using this marble outdoors in freeze-thaw climates as it may be susceptible to damage. For covered outdoor areas in mild climates, ensure proper sealing and maintenance. For outdoor applications, consider our porcelain alternatives that mimic the look of Bianco Gioia Venatino marble.
How do I clean and maintain Bianco Gioia Venatino marble tiles?
Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and soft cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners. Seal upon installation and reseal every 12-18 months. For daily cleaning, warm water and a soft cloth are sufficient for maintaining the beauty of your premium Italian marble tiles.

What is the difference between polished and honed finishes for Bianco Gioia Venatino marble?
Polished finish has a high-gloss, reflective surface that highlights the marble's veining and creates a more formal, luxurious appearance.

How does Bianco Gioia Venatino compare to Carrara marble?

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.
