Calacatta Viola Marble Tile

Calacatta Viola Marble is a white marble tile offered in 2 sizes, from 12 by 24 up to 12 by 24 inches. 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.

White fields read larger than they measure, reflecting light deep into a room. It takes both warm schemes, with oak and linen, and cool ones, with chrome and charcoal, without fighting either.

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.
