This product is made from 100% natural stone. Natural variations in color, veining, shade, size, thickness, surface finish, edging, factory source, and backside appearance (including holes, pits, fill marks, mesh backing, or rough areas) are inherent to natural stone and are not considered defects. Checkerboard and mixed-tile orders may include pieces from different production batches or factories, which may result in slight dimensional or thickness differences. Published measurements refer to outer dimensions only; interior dimensions, screw alignment, and fitment are not guaranteed. Customers are responsible for verifying quantities and allowing for waste, cuts, and layout requirements. By placing an order, the customer acknowledges and accepts all natural stone characteristics and production variations. If a return is approved, restocking fees apply and return shipping is the customer’s responsibility. Please review our Return & Refund Policy for full details and final-sale items.
Before installation, carefully inspect all goods for any damage or defects such as chipped edges or broken pieces. Natural stone surfaces, including marble and travertine, will have naturally occurring variations in color, pattern, texture, and veining that may differ from what was pictured. No adjustments or services can be provided once installation has begun.
To ensure a proper installation, follow these substrate guidelines:
• Surface Condition: The substrate must be clean, flat, and free of contaminants, including curing compounds. It should also be free of cracks.
• Waterproofing: In wet areas, waterproof the substrate following the manufacturer's recommendation for a waterproofing and crack prevention membrane compatible with your setting material.
• Expansion Joints: Install expansion joints at all changes in plane in the tile work and where tile abuts restraining surfaces. Use silicone caulking sealant instead of grout in all corner joints.
• Pattern Planning: Dry-fit your pattern before starting installation. Visualize the installation and plan the placement of pieces, especially with tiles that have a lot of variation.
• Thin-Set Mortar: Use white thin-set mortar to avoid affecting the tile color. For faster installation, use a rapid curing thin-set mortar.
• Application:
◦ Apply adhesive to an area that can be covered within 10-15 minutes.
◦ Grout joints should be a minimum of 1/16” and not butt set.
◦ Smooth down the ridges using the flat side of the trowel before fixing the tiles in the mortar bed.
◦ For our ceramic material, use a 3/16" or 1/4" square notch trowel. For other tiles, a 9" trowel with a 1/8" square notch is recommended.
• Non-Sanded Grout: Use non-sanded grout for ceramic tiles to prevent scratching. Test a small area before grouting to ensure the stone surface does not scratch.
• Packing Grout Joints: Pack grout joints fully, avoiding pits or voids. Clean excess grout as you work, and do not let it harden completely.
• Cleaning: Never use acids to clean grout haze. Use a damp sponge for final cleaning and smoothing grout joints.
• Grout Release: Apply grout release before grouting to facilitate cleaning and protect against staining from contrasting color grouts.
• Tools: Use a wet-saw with a new, continuous rim diamond blade designed for cutting ceramic tile for the best results.
• Porcelain Tile: Clean with a damp sponge mop and a solution of 1/4 cup white vinegar to every 2 gallons of water. Sweep or vacuum regularly.
• Sweeping: Use a soft-bristle broom and sweep in two directions: along the grain and diagonally to dislodge dust and debris.
• Cleaning Solution: Saturate the tile with a neutral cleaning solution like vinegar and hot water, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then scrub with a brush using the two-direction method.
• Rinsing: Rinse with clean water to remove the cleaning solution.
• Clean at least once per day and wet mop regularly.
• Avoid Certain Cleaners: Do not use ammonia, bleach, or acid-based cleaners, as they may alter grout color. Avoid wax, oil-based, abrasive cleaners, sealants, and agents with dyes or colors.
• Steel Wool: Do not use steel wool pads, as leftover particles may rust.
• Entrance Rugs: Place rugs at entrances to minimize dirt and grit from being tracked onto the tile flooring from outdoors.
By following these guidelines, you will ensure the successful and lasting installation of your natural stone surfaces.
The best practice is to order at least 10-30% more than your project requirements to account for potential issues, waste due to cutting material, and other potential breakage during installation.
When installing natural stone, understanding the waste factor is crucial. The waste factor refers to the amount of stone that will be cut, trimmed, or otherwise discarded during the installation process. The waste factor varies depending on how tightly the stones are fitted; tighter joints require more trimming and thus produce more waste.
• Project Size: Larger projects might have a slightly lower percentage of waste due to more efficient use of materials.
• Joint Tightness: Tighter joints increase the waste factor due to more precise trimming.
• Stone Variations: Natural stones have variations in color and texture, necessitating extra materials to ensure consistency across the installation.
For a project area of 1,000 square feet with an expected waste factor of 10% to 30%, you would need to purchase between 1,100 and 1,300 square feet of stone.
1. Mock-Up: Create a small mock-up to better estimate your specific waste factor before ordering materials.
2. Order Extra: Always order extra materials for future repairs or additions, as natural stone batches can vary.
3. Efficient Cutting: Plan cuts carefully to minimize waste and use off-cuts in less visible areas.
By accurately calculating the waste factor and ordering extra material, you can ensure a smoother installation process and a consistent appearance of your natural stone veneer.
Installing natural stone flooring can be a rewarding project, giving your home a luxurious and timeless look. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
• Natural stone tiles (marble, granite, slate, etc.)
• Tile adhesive (thin-set mortar)
• Grout
• Tile spacers
• Notched trowel
• Level
• Tape measure
• Tile cutter or wet saw
• Rubber mallet
• Sponge and bucket
• Grout float
• Sealer (specific to your type of stone)
• Safety equipment (gloves, goggles, knee pads)
1. Preparation:
• Measure the Area: Calculate the square footage of the area where you plan to install the tiles.
• Prepare the Subfloor: Ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. If necessary, apply a self-leveling compound.
• Acclimate the Tiles: Let the stone tiles sit in the installation area for a couple of days to acclimate to the room temperature and humidity.
2. Layout Planning:
• Dry Lay the Tiles: Lay out the tiles without adhesive to plan the pattern and placement. Start from the center and work your way out to ensure an even layout.
• Mark Guidelines: Use a chalk line to mark the center of the room and create reference lines for laying the tiles.
3. Applying Adhesive:
• Mix the Thin-set Mortar: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to mix the mortar.
• Spread the Mortar: Using the notched trowel, spread the thin-set mortar on a small section of the subfloor. Hold the trowel at a 45-degree angle to create ridges in the mortar.
4. Laying the Tiles:
• Place the Tiles: Press the tiles into the mortar, twisting them slightly to ensure a good bond. Use tile spacers to maintain consistent gaps between the tiles.
• Check for Level: Regularly check that the tiles are level and adjust as necessary using the rubber mallet.
5. Cutting Tiles:
• Measure and Mark: Measure the tiles that need to be cut to fit along the edges and mark them.
• Cut the Tiles: Use a tile cutter or wet saw to cut the tiles to the required size.
6. Grouting:
• Allow Adhesive to Cure: Let the adhesive dry for at least 24 hours or as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Mix the Grout: Mix the grout according to the instructions.
• Apply the Grout: Using a grout float, apply the grout diagonally across the tiles to fill the gaps. Remove excess grout with the float.
• Clean the Tiles: Use a damp sponge to wipe off excess grout from the tile surfaces. Rinse the sponge frequently and be careful not to remove grout from the joints.
7. Sealing:
• Allow Grout to Cure: Let the grout cure for the recommended time, usually 48-72 hours.
• Seal the Tiles: Apply a stone sealer to protect the tiles from stains and moisture. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and curing times.
8. Final Touches:
• Clean the Floor: After the sealer has dried, give the floor a final cleaning to remove any residue.
• Inspect the Installation: Check the tiles and grout lines for any imperfections and make any necessary repairs.
• Always wear safety equipment when cutting tiles.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for all materials used.
• Work in small sections to prevent the adhesive from drying out before the tiles are laid.
• Regularly clean your tools to prevent the mortar and grout from hardening on them.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Surfaces Galore. Starting with their web-based catalog with a filtering system that made finding what i wanted so easy to the quality of the tiles that arrived on my doorstep at precisely the right moment. Most importantly, though, John and his team were so accessible and went the extra mile to not only get me what I needed in short order, but to handle a partial return seamlessly. Seriously, dont give it another thought. These guys are top notch. So just order!
John provided a great service. Help us to find the right marbe and color.
Shipment was fast and accurate
Amazing! better than I thought. excited to install
I have found that Surfaces Galore has the best selection of the Calacutta Gold tile, which is the marble that I want to use in our remodel. I received the samples very promptly!
Love the quality of these marble tiles
It is so hard to decide which design to use, they are all lovely!
The basket weave tiles are just gorgeous!
This is a beautiful marble tile. The Calacutta Gold is gorgeous and I love the bluish pieces in the mosaic.
Very nice sample. I was looking for something with a little more light veining.
The smaller sample was a bit warmer than the actual 6x6 pieces but John was so incredibly helpful and explained what I needed to use to get the warmth in the stone's color. He was so patient and a wealth of information.
This is lovely tile! The sample was large enough that I could envision it in my space, and shipping was super quick. I highly recommend if this is your taste.
Perfect for an obscure backsplash
Nice and clean, well packed and on time
Love the tile. Thank you for the great and immediate service.
Exactly what I was looking for. Exactly. My contractor will be in touch to place the order.

Installation tip:
Natural stone performs best when installed on a flat, well-prepared substrate using proper setting materials.
Thickness matters:
Thicker stone tiles generally provide better durability for floors and high-traffic areas.
Substrate note:
Uneven substrates can cause lippage in natural stone due to slight thickness variations.
Professional install recommended:
Due to natural size and thickness variation, professional installation is strongly recommended.
Finish selection tip:
Honed, brushed, or tumbled finishes offer better slip resistance than polished surfaces.
Wet area note:
Slip resistance in wet areas depends on surface finish, grout spacing, and proper sealing.
Polished surface guidance:
Polished stone is best suited for walls, backsplashes, and low-traffic applications.
Sealing reminder:
Natural stone should be sealed before and after installation to help protect against moisture and stains.
Resealing frequency:
Most natural stone installations benefit from resealing every 1–2 years depending on usage.
Cleaning tip:
Use pH-neutral cleaners designed for natural stone to avoid surface damage.
Natural variation:
Color, veining, texture, and tone variations are inherent characteristics of real stone.
Nominal sizing:
Stone tiles are sold in nominal sizes. Minor size and thickness differences are normal.
Edge variation:
Edges may vary slightly due to the natural cutting and finishing process.
Natural shade variation:
Natural stone may show light and dark shading within the same batch. This variation is normal.
Surface texture variation:
Minor surface texture differences can occur due to the quarrying and finishing process.
Batch-to-batch differences:
Stone from different production batches may vary slightly in tone and pattern. Blending tiles during installation is recommended.
Handcrafted material note:
Natural stone is not factory-perfect. Subtle imperfections reflect its natural quarry origin.
Outdoor use note:
When used outdoors, proper drainage and spacing help extend the life of natural stone.
Climate awareness:
Stone performance may vary based on climate, installation method, and exposure conditions.
Freeze-thaw consideration:
In colder climates, proper thickness and installation are critical for outdoor applications.
Best suited for:
Natural stone is ideal for buyers seeking a timeless, organic look rather than uniform perfection.
Maintenance expectation:
Natural stone is not maintenance-free and requires periodic care to preserve its appearance.
Long-term value:
With proper installation and care, natural stone can last for decades.
Buyer awareness:
Natural stone rewards informed buyers who understand installation, sealing, and care requirements.
Design-driven buyers:
Best suited for buyers who prioritize aesthetics, authenticity, and natural character.
Lifestyle compatibility:
This material works well for homeowners comfortable with routine care and long-term ownership.
Project planning note:
Natural stone performs best when layout, finish selection, and grout spacing are planned in advance.
Investment mindset:
Choosing natural stone is a long-term design investment rather than a short-term trend.
Not a one-size-fits-all material:
Natural stone may not be suitable for every application or lifestyle.
Professional guidance recommended:
Buyers unfamiliar with natural stone should consult installers or stone professionals.
