Tumbled squares in Calacatta
Calacatta T on a 12x12 mesh sheet, made up of two inch squares with a tumbled finish. Tumbling knocks the edges off each piece, so the sheet arrives looking worn rather than freshly cut. Six sheets to a box, six square feet.
Design
Edges taken off deliberately
A tumbled surface is produced by agitating the stone until corners round and the face softens, which suits a white marble by taking the hardness out of it. Style is recorded as rustic for exactly that reason. Each sheet is 3/8 inch thick. White marble mosaics with tumbled edges hold grout differently from sharp cut ones, since the rounded corner leaves a wider joint at the surface. That wider joint is part of the look, so a grout close to the stone colour usually serves better than a contrasting one.
Rounded corners
Tumbling wears the edges, which widens the visible joint.
Rustic by intent
The finish is meant to look used rather than machined.
Where to use it
Shower floors
Shower floors carries the rating, kitchen the recorded room. A sheet covers a square foot and six make a box, so a 60 square foot area needs 12 boxes with the usual margin for cuts. Every sheet wants full adhesive contact behind it, because an unsupported piece in a floor is the one that cracks. A 1/2x12 pencil liner matches for edges.
Twelve boxes
Six square feet per box, 60 square feet plus margin.
Liner to match
A 1/2x12 pencil in the same stone finishes an edge.

Why we chose it
- Softer lookTumbled marble avoids the hard machined edge of a cut mosaic.
- Simple countingOne sheet, one square foot.
- Slope friendlySmall squares follow a fall to a drain without cutting.
Care
Seal after setting and again every one to two years. Marble dulls where acid touches it, so keep citrus and vinegar based cleaners away and use a pH neutral stone product.
