Carrara T Rock Face 2x6 Marble Mosaics 12x14

Carrara T cut into 2x6 bars with a rock face finish, supplied as a marble mosaic on 12x14 sheets. The visible surface has been split rather than sawn, each sheet covers a square foot, four come to a box, and five matching trims are available in the same stone.

Texture from splitting

Splitting stone along its natural line leaves a surface with real relief, so the recorded thickness is random rather than a single figure. On Carrara that texture breaks up the veining into something rougher and more geological than a honed face would give. Variation between pieces is slight. The trim range runs to a pencil liner, a cornice, a base, a 3/4x12 pencil and an andorra. White marble mosaics with a split face also catch dust differently from smooth ones, which is worth knowing before choosing one for a horizontal surface.

• Random relief Thickness varies piece to piece because the face is split.
• Five trims An unusually complete set of profiles in the same stone.

Approved across interiors

Backsplash, bath floors and walls, shower walls and floors, residential and commercial interior walls and floors, and residential light floors all appear, with living room, bathroom and kitchen recorded. Eighteen boxes cover 60 square feet after cutting. An uneven surface needs adhesive that fills behind every piece, since the depth varies across a single sheet.

• Eighteen boxes Four square feet a box across 60 square feet.
• Fill behind it Varying depth means adhesive must accommodate every piece.

Why we chose it

• Genuine texture A split face gives relief no moulded product reproduces.
• Complete trim range Five profiles cover edges, tops and skirtings.
• Broad approval Floors, walls, wet areas and commercial spaces all appear.

Care

Seal after installation and reseal every one to two years. Textured stone traps cleaning product in its hollows, so rinse thoroughly, and stay with a pH neutral stone cleaner.
