Paris Honed Maze Basket Limestone Mosaics 13 9/16×13 9/16

Honed limestone mosaics in the Maze Basket design, white, on sheets of 13 9/16 inches square. One sheet covers 1.27 square feet and six make a box. A threshold 4×36 matches the stone.

Interlocking, not stacked

Maze Basket weaves rectangles over and under one another, so the sheet has no obvious row or column and the joins between sheets are hard to pick out once grouted. Limestone suits that kind of pattern: it is quieter than marble, with small fossil and shell traces instead of veining, and it does not fight the geometry. Honing leaves it matte. The same limestone runs through a 12×24, two 18×18 tiles, a small 2 3/4×5 1/2 and a winter leaf waterjet mosaic, along with an elevations wall deco pattern. Six sheets come in a box, which is 7.62 square feet, more than most mosaic boxes hold.

• 1.27 sq ft a sheet Six sheets, 7.62 square feet a box.
• Hidden seams The weave disguises where one sheet meets the next.

Outdoor walls

The approval recorded against this sheet is an outdoor wall, and bathroom appears as the room noted. Limestone is porous and takes a penetrating sealer after installation, which matters more outside than in. Ten boxes cover 60 square feet. Butter behind every sheet: a void under stone becomes a cracked piece the first time anything presses on it.

• Ten boxes 7.62 square feet each over 60 square feet.
• Seal it Porous stone, so a penetrating sealer goes on after fitting.

Why we chose it

• Woven geometry A pattern that hides its own repeat.
• Quiet stone Limestone has less contrast than marble.
• A full range Tiles, a threshold and a waterjet mosaic in the same Paris.

Care

Use a penetrating sealer after installation and reseal every one to two years in wet conditions. Clean with a pH neutral stone cleaner only, since acids etch limestone quickly.
