Turkish Carrara 9" Radius Cor Shelf Pol

Turkish Carrara 9" Radius Cor Shelf Pol is a white 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 white surface opens and brightens a room, bouncing light through bathrooms and smaller spaces where a darker floor would close them in. Pair it with warm wood and brushed brass for a soft scheme, or black fixtures for sharper contrast.

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.
