Marble tiles are an elegant addition to any room, whether in a home or office.
Marble is a beautiful, versatile, and durable natural stone which can be
used not only indoors on floors, walls, or even countertops, but also outdoors
on patios and fountains. Because of the durability and resiliency of marble,
once the tiles or mosaics are installed, they will last for many years to
come. Additionally, as a natural stone, no two pieces are identical, resulting
in stunning contrast and designs. Marble is often the material of choice
in high-end renovations because of the resulting increase in value of the
home.
Marble basketweave mosaics allow for multiple colors to be incorporated
into the design of any room. These mosaics combine bianco carrara, also
known as white carrera, with crema
marfil, statuary crystal white, green marble, or negro marquina marble,
among others, for beautiful results.
Basketweave
mosaics are not the only pattern available. A myriad of
alternatives are available to match any room design. Hexagon
mosaics come in many sizes, from small honeycomb patterns
to 2 inches across each stone. Herringbone
mosaics provide a great alternative to the hexagon mosaic
which results in a stunning texture to your floors and walls. For a
more traditional look, mosaics are also available made with 5/8”, 1”
or 2” squares.
If you do not want to use mosaics exclusively, a full range of tile sizes
are also available. Subway
tiles are small and rectangle, 3” high by 6” long and can easily
be installed in a number of different patterns. These subway tiles are available
with three different edges—a regular square edge, a pillow edge, or a beveled
edge. Larger rectangles measuring 6” by 12” are also available. Square
tiles range from 4” by 4”, to 6” by 6”, 12’ by 12’ and even as large
as 18” by 18”. The design of your room can incorporate a single size tile,
or can use multiple sizes to create a distinctive pattern.
Each mosaic and tile comes in different varieties of marble to best match
your taste and the style of the room, including statuary white, crema marfil,
and bianco carrara. Different finishes are also available for each marble
tile and mosaic. A polished finish provides the shiniest look. A honed
finish is less shiny. A tumbled finish presents what can best be described
as an antiqued look to the marble.

We specialize in Carrara
Marble, which is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone in the quarries
of Carrara, Italy. Similar to other natural stones, each piece of carrera marble
differs from the others in colors, veining and shades. On the surface of white
carrera marble, the various shades and patterns of gray veining and streaks
greatly increase the value of any space decorated. Depending on the physical
characteristics of the marble, carrera can be classified into different types,
such as Bianco
Carrara (White Carrera) or Statuary
Carrara (Statuario Carrera). Specific names are given to each type of marble
to distinguish this stunning marble from similar products, such as Calacatta, Dolomiti and
Venato. Bianco Carrara marble was often used in architecture by the ancient
Greeks and Romans, usually as exterior cladding, and was favored as a sculpting
material, especially during the Renaissance. Michelangelo’s David, for example,
is made of Carrera marble. Today, White
Carrara marble commonly used in home design as countertops and floor tiles
due to its clean, aesthetic qualities.
