Color of the Walter Zanger subway tiles

10 years ago
This bathroom is gorgeous! I read in the previous questions that the tiles are honed carrera marble from Walter Zanger (I believe the Tribeca series?). With regard to the subway tiles at the bottom of the shower, can you please tell me if the color is "Classic White" or "Flatiron Grey". Thank you so much!

    Thank you for your kind words. You are correct, the tiles
    in the bath shown above are from Walker Zanger. This bath was designed a couple
    of years ago and all orders show that the tile was part of a collection that
    has been discontinued. The color clarification is difficult since the tile
    shown above is a natural Carrara marble and was placed in mosaic sheets by
    Walker Zanger. However, the marble that was sourced and sold for this job
    resembles the classic white in the Tribeca Series rather than the Flatiron
    gray. Walker Zanger tile might be sold by order only and we recommend that you
    work with a tile dealer in your area and speak with a sales representative to
    ensure you get the exact product you are looking for. If needed we would be
    happy to speak with them about the items selected in the picture above. Best of
    luck with your project. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Does Carrara marble in a shower require a lot of maintenance?
  • PRO

    Marble has to be resealed at least once a year in dry areas of a room and at least twice a year in showers. Being a naturally porous product Carrara marble will absorb
    liquids. Both polished and honed Carrara
    should be treated with a water-based silicone sealant, which impregnates the
    surface and body to prevent staining. The sealant protects against oil-based soaps, hair
    dyes and other chemicals in toiletries. It will not prevent etching in the
    stone, or dulling caused by hard water, chemicals in the water or harsh
    cleaning products. These penetrating sealers and cleaners are made
    specifically to care for natural materials and will keep your marble looking good.

    I hope this answers your question, and you are on your way to planning your new dream bath. Thank you for visiting our Houzz page. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Best of luck.
