Hi There,

Thank you for your question and for your interest in our items.

Our tiles would be same if not better quality, when you would compare to any retail store. In fact, we are mainly a wholesaler and we supply to 200+ retail stores -including high-end designer showrooms- across U.S, who re-sell to public at their showrooms.

We hear that, same materials that we sell, can be sold as much as $20 to $30 / sq. ft. in some remote retail stores across U.S - we assure you that, the materials that we carry would be same quality as the ones you could find in your local retail store.

However, please kindly remember that, these are natural stone materials, so, what we currently have may not be same exact as what is available in your local retailer, ours could be slightly lighter, or slightly darker in colors / variations - or perhaps the exact same. This is just a kind reminder when our customers purchase, as no two tiles are the same with natural stone materials such as the Carrara White Marble tiles. However, to inform you, when we ship to our customers, we make sure that all the square footage comes from the same exact batch, so all the tiles would blend perfectly well within themselves.

We hope this explains. Please feel free to reply back or contact us if you may have any additional questions. We would be happy to assist you further.

Thank you & Kind Regards,

Thank you for your response. I have another question. What type and color grout do you recommend for this tile. Also, how wide should the grout be between pieces; ie: 1/4 " ...1/8"...1/6" ?

Hi There,

You very welcome.

In regards to the type of the grout, it has to be a Non-Sanded Grout. Because, sanded grout could scratch and stain the surface of these marble mosaic tiles.

As for grout color, this is all up to tastes and preferences. However, to give you an idea as we work with several designers: For a more grey color oriented look, there is a Delorean Gray grout, which you could locate at any home improvement store such as Home Depot, Lowe`s, etc. If you prefer a whiter look, a simple white grout would work just fine.

As for the grout space: These are mosaic tiles, so they do interlock with each other at time of installation. The grout spacing is 1/8" for these Italian Carrara Marble - and in fact for most of the other mosaic tiles that we carry.

We hope we were able to assist you with you questions. Please feel free to reply back or contact us if you may have additional questions, we would be happy to assist you further.
