Royal Beige Polished Slides Marble Mosaics 11×17

Slides in Royal Beige: long narrow bars of polished marble on an 11×17 sheet, 1/2 inch thick. Variation is slight, so the beige holds close across a run, and each sheet covers 1.29 square feet.

Polish on a warm stone

Polishing a beige marble deepens the warmth rather than brightening it, which is the opposite of what the same treatment does to a white. Among beige marble mosaics the bar format is the one that sets a surface running in lines instead of a grid. At 1/2 inch these sheets are heavier than the usual mosaic, so a vertical application needs that weight accounted for. An 8×8 piece in the same stone finishes an edge. Bar formats also hide a slightly uneven substrate better than large tiles do, because each piece can take up a small amount of the difference.

• Warmth deepened Polish intensifies a beige rather than lightening it.
• Heavier sheet 1/2 inch in section, more than most mosaic sheets carry.

Broad interior approval

Almost every interior application appears against this one: walls and floors at home and in commercial premises, wet rooms on both planes, splash zones and light traffic floors. Bathroom, living room and kitchen are the rooms named. It is not frost resistant, so nothing outdoors. A 60 square foot area takes nine boxes, and a sample can be requested before committing.

• Nine boxes At 7.74 square feet each, nine boxes cover 60 square feet.
• Not for outdoors No frost resistance is recorded, so interiors only.

Why we chose it

• Runs in lines Bar shapes give a directional surface instead of a grid.
• Beige that stays put Recorded variation is slight, so a wide area stays even.
• Edge piece available An 8×8 cut from the same stone closes a perimeter.

Care

Seal after installation, then every one to two years. Polished stone shows etch marks more readily than honed, so acidic spills need attention quickly and cleaning means a pH neutral stone product.
