Snow White, Allure Multi Finish Cascade Marble Mosaics 9 9/16×9 5/8

A marble mosaic on mesh sheets of 9 9/16 by 9 5/8 inches, in the cascade pattern and a multi finish mix of snow white and allure. Six sheets fill a box and cover 4.2 square feet. Variation between pieces is slight.

Finish doing the work of colour

Multi finish means two surface treatments in one sheet, usually honed against polished, so the pattern shows up in the way light lands as much as in the stone itself. Turn the sheet and the reading changes, which a single finish cannot do. Cascade sets the pieces in a stepped run rather than a straight grid. Snow white and allure sit close in tone, so the effect stays quiet from a distance and only resolves close up. Three other sheet sizes exist in the same colour if the pattern suits but the format does not.

• Two finishes Honed and polished in one sheet, so light does the patterning.
• Slight variation Tone stays close from sheet to sheet.

Rated for shower floors

Shower floors is the recorded approval, with living room as the room on file. Shower floor tiles – non slip are a common reason to reach for a mosaic: many small pieces mean many grout lines, and a mesh sheet follows a slope to the drain where a large tile would have to be cut apart to do it. Seventeen boxes reach 60 square feet with waste included. Butter the back of every sheet fully, since a hollow under marble turns into a cracked piece later.

• Follows a slope Mesh sheets bend to a fall that a large tile cannot.
• 4.2 sq ft a box Six sheets, seventeen boxes for 60 square feet.

Why we chose it

• Pattern in relief Two finishes give depth without a second colour.
• Grip from grout More joints across a wet floor than a large format gives.
• Sizes to match Three further sheet sizes exist in the same colour.

Care

Seal after installation and reseal every one to two years. Use a pH neutral stone cleaner, and keep bleach, ammonia and abrasive pads off the polished pieces.
