Angora Tile

Angora is a white marble mosaic tile offered in Basketweave, Herringbone, 2 by 6 Subway and 2" Hexagon formats. 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.

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. The hexagon geometry adds pattern without print, reading vintage in white and modern in bolder tones. 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.
