Snow White, Bianco Dolomiti Polished Slides Marble Mosaics 11x17

Slides sets narrow bars of Snow White and Bianco Dolomiti on an 11x17 polished sheet. Pieces are recorded as uniform, so the two whites stay close to one another rather than reading as a contrast. Each sheet covers 1.29 square feet and a box of six covers 7.74.

Two stones, almost one colour

Using two marbles that sit near each other in tone gives a surface quiet variation without a visible break. Polishing lifts both, deepening whatever veining each bar carries. The sheet is 1/2 inch thick, heavier in section than most mosaic sheets, which is worth knowing when it goes on a wall and worth allowing for where it meets a thinner material. White marble mosaics in this arrangement read as texture from across a room and as separate pieces up close.

• Close tones Two whites chosen to sit near each other rather than to contrast.
• Heavier sheet At 1/2 inch the section is thicker than a standard mosaic.

Almost anywhere indoors

The list runs to commercial and residential interior floors and walls, residential light floors, shower walls and floors, bath floors and walls, and backsplash, with kitchen recorded as the room. Nine boxes take care of 60 square feet once waste is added. A sample is available, which is sensible where two stones are being blended. Opening several boxes and mixing the sheets during setting keeps any difference between them spread across the area.

• Nine boxes 7.74 square feet a box covers 60 square feet in nine.
• Sample offered Worth ordering when a design mixes two stones.

Why we chose it

• Quiet variation Two close whites give movement without contrast.
• Uniform pieces Recorded as looking alike, so sheets match one another.
• Broad approval Floors, walls, showers and commercial use all appear.

Care

Seal after installation and reseal every one to two years. Polished marble shows etching sooner than honed, so wipe acidic spills straight away and clean with a pH neutral stone product only.
