Royal Beige Honed Constantine Marble Mosaics 13 5/8x13 5/8

Constantine is a marble mosaic on a sheet just under fourteen inches square, honed, and recorded as multicolour within the Royal Beige group. Each sheet covers 1.28 square feet with six in a box, and two matching trims are cut from the same stone.

One family of tones

Calling it multicolour overstates the drama: the pieces sit within one beige family, and the variation between them is recorded as slight. What that produces is a surface with movement but no jumps. Honing keeps every piece matte so the pattern registers through its cut lines rather than through reflection. Sheets run 3/8 inch. An 8x8 piece and a 2x12 andorra profile match for edges and returns. Sheet joins are the only alignment worth worrying about, since everything inside a sheet arrives already set.

• Movement, not contrast Multicolour within one family, with slight variation between pieces.
• Two matching pieces An 8x8 and a 2x12 andorra come from the same stone.

Shower floors

The record carries shower floors, with kitchen as the noted room. Nine boxes will cover 60 square feet once cutting is accounted for. Mosaic sheets want complete adhesive behind them, and on a floor that falls towards a drain the sheets do the flexing that a large tile could not. Mixing sheets from several boxes while setting keeps any tonal drift spread across the floor rather than gathered in one corner.

• Nine boxes 7.68 square feet a box across 60 square feet.
• Follows the fall Sheet format lets the surface track a slope to the drain.

Why we chose it

• Even character Slight variation gives interest without pieces fighting one another.
• Large sheets Sheets measure 13 5/8 inches square, so fewer joins need aligning.
• Edges answered Two trims exist in the same stone.

Care

Seal after installation and reseal every one to two years. Marble dulls where acid touches it, so keep vinegar and citrus away and stay with a pH neutral stone cleaner.
