Crema Marfil Marble Bias with Emperador Corner Polished Border

Crema Marfil Marble Bias with Emperador Corner Polished Border is a beige marble tile sold individually by the piece. Because every piece is cut from natural blocks, veining and tone shift from tile to tile, giving each installation a pattern of its own. On floors or walls it keeps a consistent face across large areas where fewer grout lines matter.

A beige surface warms a room the way natural stone always has, sitting comfortably with cream walls, wood tones, and aged metals.

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.
