Description

• Material: Natural marble — Asian Statuary (also called Oriental White) — featuring a white base with gray veining. (Matches standard traits of the collection in similar tiles.) 
• Finish: Polished (high gloss/reflective) or Honed (matte/softer texture) finish. (Both finishes offered in similar Asian Statuary herringbone tiles.) 
• Size(s) Available: Herringbone chip size of 1″ × 2″ per piece, assembled into mesh-mounted mosaic sheets (nominal coverage per sheet ~ 1 sq ft). 
• Thickness: Approximately ⅜″ (~10 mm) — standard for many Asian Statuary herringbone mosaic tiles.
• Application Ideas: Excellent for accent backsplashes, shower walls, vanity walls, decorative strips or borders, and accent panels. Also works on floors in residential settings if grout joints and substrate are properly installed.
• Style: Herringbone, micro-chip mosaic, Asian Statuary marble, polished/ honed dual finish, elegant detail, classic-modern fusion.

Key Features

• Refined Pattern with Movement: The small 1×2 herringbone layout adds texture and directional interest, but remains subtle and versatile.
• Finish Options for Light Control: The polished finish will highlight the marble’s veining and reflect light; the honed variant tones down glare for a softer, more subdued appearance.
• Material Elegance: Asian Statuary marble is appreciated for its clean, crisp white background and graceful veining, lending sophistication to both traditional and modern interiors.

Care & Maintenance

• Installation Tips: Dry-lay your mosaic sheets to verify veining consistency and pattern flow before final installation. Use white or light mortar / thin-set to avoid altering the white marble coloration. Maintain narrow grout joints (≈ 1⁄16″) for crisp pattern lines and easier cleaning.
• Sealing: Seal both before grouting and after installation once grout has cured. Reapplication of the sealer may be needed over time, especially in wet or splash areas.
• Cleaning: Use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths or sponges. Avoid acidic substances, bleach, or harsh abrasive cleaners, which can etch or dull marble surfaces.
• Natural Variation: As with any natural stone, expect variation in the intensity of veining, tone, and minor surface imperfections. These variations are part of marble's character—inspect tiles prior to installation to ensure an overall cohesive aesthetic.
