Preserve the beauty and extend the life of your natural stone surfaces with our in-depth, UK-specific care guide.
Daily Care and Cleaning:
- Wipe Down: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down surfaces.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use acidic or abrasive cleaners that can etch or damage the stone.
- Spills: Clean up any spills immediately to prevent staining.
Weekly Care:
- Mild Detergent: Use a pH-neutral cleaner for a more thorough clean.
- Rinse and Dry: Always rinse the surface thoroughly and dry it to prevent water spots.
Periodic Maintenance:
- Sealing: Depending on the stone type, periodic sealing may be necessary.
- Polishing: Some stones benefit from occasional polishing to restore their shine.
- Professional Cleaning: Consider professional cleaning for deep-set stains or restoration.
Addressing Stains and Spills:
- Immediate Action: The quicker a spill is addressed, the less likely it will stain.
- Stain Removal: Use a poultice for oil-based or organic stains.
Special Considerations for Different Stone Types:
- Marble: Sensitive to acids and prone to etching.
- Granite: Less porous but may still require sealing.
- Limestone & Travertine: More porous and may require frequent sealing.
Safety Precautions:
- Read Labels: Always read the labels on any cleaning products to ensure they are suitable for natural stone.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use gloves and other PPE as needed, especially when handling cleaners or sealers.

Delivery Times:
Deliveries are typically made between 8am and 6pm, and specific time slots cannot be guaranteed. We request our delivery partners to provide a one-hour call-ahead notice if possible. Our delivery service requires a signature upon delivery, and an ID check may be requested.
Pallet Sizes:
For orders exceeding 100kg, pallet delivery is essential for the safe transportation of your tiles. These pallets are generally 'half' or 'full' size and measure approximately:
- Half size: 70 x 60 cm
- Full size: 70 x 120 cm

Kerbside Delivery:
Our deliveries are made to the kerbside only, as is customary for most pallet deliveries. Delivery drivers are not insured to enter your property, open the pallet, or physically handle the tiles. Since tiles are heavy, with some boxes weighing up to 30kg, we recommend arranging for assistance to promptly move your order into your property.
Accepting Your Delivery:
Ensure that a responsible person is present upon delivery to:
- Inspect for any damage
- Verify the presence of all items
- Sign to accept the delivery
Damages:
In the unfortunate event of damage to your order during transit, please follow these steps within 24 hours of receipt:
- Sign "DAMAGED" on the delivery note
- Take photos of all damaged tiles
- Email us at [Provide Email]
For sustainability reasons, we recommend using damaged tiles for cuts in your project whenever possible. We'll dispatch free replacements or credit you for damaged tiles after reviewing your form and photos.
Access Issues:
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.
Tile Storage:
If you're not ready for immediate tile delivery, we offer free storage in our warehouse for up to two months. For extended storage, a small charge may apply. Contact cs@intmarble.com for details.

- Sophisticated Honed Finish: A velvety matt surface that feels wonderful underfoot, reduces glare, and provides an understated, premium aesthetic.
- Superior Slip-Resistance: The honed texture offers excellent grip, making this tile a beautiful and significantly safer choice for bathrooms, wet rooms, kitchens, and entryways.
- Premium Natural Marble: Crafted from genuine Fitz White marble, known for its clean, elegant base, and a deep black marble for a dramatic accent dot.

A Masterclass in Contrast and Style
The Fitz White Octagon and Black Dot tile is a design that has graced elegant homes for over a century. It's a pattern that works effortlessly to bring architectural character to any room. The Fitz White marble provides a bright, clean canvas, while the black dots create anchor points, forming a captivating and rhythmic geometric layout.
Unlike a high-gloss finish, the honing process gives the marble a soft, muted lustre. This subtle approach to a bold pattern makes it incredibly versatile, feeling right at home in a period property restoration or as the sophisticated cornerstone of a modern, minimalist space. It’s practical luxury at its finest.

Essential Care & Installation Advice
- Sealing is Mandatory: To protect the marble's natural beauty, it must be sealed with a high-quality impregnating stone sealer before and after grouting.
- Use pH-Neutral Cleaners: Clean the tiles only with formulas designed for natural stone. Avoid acidic or abrasive products which can damage the surface.
- Choose Your Adhesive Wisely: Always use a white, cement-based, flexible tile adhesive to prevent any discolouration from seeping into the white marble.
- Embrace Natural Variation: Being a natural product, expect beautiful, subtle variations in veining. We highly recommend dry-laying tiles before installation to achieve a balanced look.
- Order 15% Extra: Ensure you have enough tiles for cuts, waste, and spares by ordering at least 15% more than your final measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What color grout should I use with this black and white tile?
A: You have excellent options. A light grey or white grout creates a subtle, classic look. For a bold, graphic statement that makes the octagon shape pop, a dark grey or black grout is a fantastic choice.
Q: Is this tile suitable for a high-traffic area like a hallway?
A: Yes. Marble is a durable material, and the honed finish is excellent at hiding minor signs of wear and tear compared to a polished surface. When properly sealed and maintained, it's perfect for a residential hallway.
Q: Are the octagon tiles and the black dots sold as a set?
A: Yes. The tiles are supplied as a complete set. For every octagon tile, you will receive the corresponding black dot insert required to complete the pattern seamlessly.

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.
