Noir Ash Mini Pebble Tile

Noir Ash Mini Pebble is a black marble mosaic tile sold by the box with per-square-foot pricing. It carries the depth and cool touch only quarried marble has, with natural variation that makes each layout one of a kind. Sheet-mounted for even spacing, it is at home on backsplashes, shower floors and walls, and feature strips.

Black is decisive underfoot and dramatic on walls, sharpening whites and metallics around it. Keep surrounding surfaces light to let the dark field carry the room. As a mosaic, the joint pattern is part of the design; grout color choice changes the whole read of the sheet.

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.
