Bardiglio Imperiale Marble Vein-Cut Cornice Polished Liner

Bardiglio Imperiale Marble Vein-Cut Cornice Polished Liner is a gray marble tile sold individually by the piece. The stone takes light the way only real marble does, with movement and translucency a printed surface can only approximate. It lays a clean, continuous field across floors and walls in both residential and commercial rooms.

Gray is the great neutral of modern interiors, cool enough for minimal schemes and soft enough to warm up beside timber and brass. Lighter grout blends the field; darker grout draws the grid as a feature.

Marble is metamorphosed limestone, formed when heat and pressure recrystallize calcite into the veined, light-reflective stone quarried for centuries of architecture. Every tile is cut from natural blocks, so veining and tone vary from piece to piece, which is the material's signature rather than a defect. Marble stays cooler than the surrounding air, takes a high polish, and brings a depth of color that printed surfaces approximate but do not match.

Marble is a calcite stone and needs sealing at installation and roughly once a year after, depending on traffic. Wipe spills quickly, especially wine, citrus, and vinegar, which etch the surface on contact. Clean only with stone-safe pH-neutral cleaners; never use vinegar, bleach, or abrasive powders. Use walk-off mats at entries and felt pads under furniture. Install with white thinset to avoid bleed-through, and dry-lay tiles first to blend natural variation across the floor or wall.
