Grout color

12 years ago

I am using this exact tile for my backsplash thanks to you! What color is the grout? Do I just ask for "gray" or is there a specific name? Thank you so much.

We love Carrara and we love 1x3" Herringbone. At The Builder Depot we offer the same mosaic format in our Carrara Venato 1x3" Herringbone for $11.45 a square foot: http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/cvh1x3herb.html

We also offer it in 1x3" Carrara Bianco for $12.75 a square foot: http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/cbh1x3herb.html

For years suppliers only ever offered 1x2" Herringbone Mosaic Tile. Until driven by consumers trying Herringbone formats on the floor people started to like the multiple of three for floor tiles. A 2x6", 3x9", 4x12" and so on. So naturally along came the 1x3" Herringbone mosaic and a great look it proved to be.

We love it so much we also offer it in a Crema Marfil and Nero Marquina. Our Carrara Venato, Carrara Bianco, Nero Marquina and Crema Marfil 1x3" Herringbone Mosaic Tiles are available in a Honed and Polished finish. This gives a total of eight SKU's of 1x3" Herringbone, I said we loved it :)

Oh, and, sanded or non sanded?

You will need to select the color in your space. Your tile installer should be able to provide samples for you. Since this is a natural stone, the color can vary. And, the grout color I used may look different in the lighting in your kitchen. For sanded vs. non-sanded, we typically use non-sanded in installations like this, but again - consult with your tile installer.

It was in the grey family, and we opted to go a little darker rather than lighter.

Looks beautiful. Are these 1x3? What company made these? Having difficulty locating that size. Thanks.

The tile can be purchased from www.seattletile.com: 1x3 statuary white herringbone, 55 HERR STAT 12x12 polished. Ask for Sarabeth.

If I wanted a similar look to this picture would I get the venato?

Thank you for your message. Yes Carrara Venato 1x3" Herringbone would give you a very similar look. You can see an opened box in the picture attached.

Thank you so much. I ordered it from you and I'm very excited!

What's the best adhesive for these tiles? Thinset? Mastic? I'm DIYing this for the first time and would love any advice you can give me.

Are you worried about staining of the marble from oil splattering? Has this been an issue for you? I understand that marble has to be sealed yearly. Not sure how that affects the grout. Thank you in advance for your input.

That is something to consider if you cook a lot of greasy food.
