Answer This Question

A:  The edges are not finished. You will need some sort of trim pieces if you want the finished edging look. For my fireplace hearth, I used copper strips. Quarter-round tile trim is most commonly used.

              Answer This Question

              A:  I would not suggest using this as a counter top. It is not thick enough or strong enough for that application This did work well for a backsplash.

              by|May 5, 2023

                A:  Yes, spacing of 1/16 for grout recommended

                        Answer This Question

                        A:  Use only professional solutions designed for cleaning marble or just plain warm water and soap.

                        by|Oct 30, 2018

                          A:  You can clean the tiles by pouring 1/2 cup of ammonia into 1 gallon of warm water. Use a clean sponge or mop to gently remove surface stains and dirt, then use a soft towel to immediately dry the area.

                              A:  You can use a marble polish... but marble polish is a misnomer... it's actually just a cleaner. To get the marble to shine you must use a abrasive powder made for marble with a buffer.

                                A:  Marble is a natural product so every batch will be different., there is no way around that. You always want to order enough so you have a few extra.
