Wholesale marble tile by stone
The stones here fall into four color families, and each family has its own character on a large floor.
- White: Carrara, Italian Carrara, White Carrara Select, Calacatta Gold, Calacatta T, Statuarietto, Thassos White Extra, Alpina White, Venere, Bianco Opale and Bella White.
- Beige: Royal Beige, Crema Marfil, Macchiato and Supremo.
- Gray: Silver Horizon, Bardiglio Light and Gris Fawn.
- Black: a polished and a honed black marble in 12x12 and 18x18.
Within the whites the veining sets the tone. Thassos is the cleanest, close to plain white; Carrara has a soft gray veining on a gray-white ground; Calacatta and Statuarietto show bolder veins on a brighter ground. Among the other stones, Bardiglio Light is a soft blue-gray and Royal Beige a warm cream, and both come honed and polished.
Marble finishes: polished, honed and textured
Polished is the larger group and honed close behind, and most stones come in both, often in the same size. Polished marble reflects the room and deepens the color of the stone, which suits formal rooms and entrances. Honed is matte and soft to the eye, the usual choice for kitchens, hallways and family rooms.
A few pieces go further: a tumbled Royal Beige 3x6 subway with softened edges, a rustic textured Carrara T 16x24, and textured Versailles sets.
Marble tile sizes and thickness
12x24 leads the size list, then 12x12, 24x24 and 18x18, with a 16x24, a 3x6 and the small 2 3/4x5 1/2 brick, which comes in Thassos, Carrara, Alpina White and Royal Beige.
Thickness follows the stone more than the size. Most of the whites are 3/8 inch; most of the beige and gray stones are 1/2 inch, and some 24x24 tiles are 5/8 inch. Where two stones meet in one floor, matching thickness keeps the joint level, so it is worth checking on each product.
Versailles and the pattern sets
The Versailles sets here are Fantasia Blanca in a textured white at 1/2 inch, and Noir Elegance and Silver Sky as 1 1/4 inch Textura pavers rated for outdoor floors. A Versailles set packs several rectangles and squares in fixed proportions, so the floor repeats as a module and never shows a straight grid.
Supremo comes as Lineal and Downtown patterns as well as plain 12x24, Punto Vintage is a decorative 24x24, and the Elevations sets in Calacatta T and Royal Beige are mixed-size marble wall pieces for a feature wall.
Shower and bathroom floor ratings
The listings rate the 2 3/4x5 1/2 bricks, several of the 24x24 tiles and the Royal Beige tumbled subway for shower floors as well as walls. The 12x24 tiles are rated for interior floors and walls. Each product page lists its own ratings.
Ordering wholesale marble
Marble is cut from quarry blocks, and tiles from one lot share a closely related color and veining, so a large floor is ordered in one go to keep it within one lot. Part of this list is also in the wholesale tile range, where a full pallet of one marble takes a pallet discount at checkout.
Marble tile is the full material range, white marble tile the color this list leans to, and marble slabs the large pieces.
