Introducing the Asian Statuary Marble 6x12 Tile in polished or honed finishes — a premium choice that brings the timeless beauty of Oriental White, also known as Asian Carrara, into any space.

Why this tile stands out

Two captivating finishes: choose polished for a radiant, mirror-like glow that amplifies light and texture, or honed for a softer, velvety surface with subtle slip resistance.

6x12 versatility: a compact, proportionate size that’s ideal for bathroom floors and walls, kitchen backsplashes, shower enclosures, or feature walls — easy to mix with other tiles for a custom pattern.
-
Distinctive, natural veining: each tile is unique, delivering one-of-a-kind movement across floors and surfaces that elevates any design concept.
-
Indoor-focused luxury: engineered for interior spaces where beauty meets durability, with proper sealing and maintenance to preserve its glow over time.
-
Timeless color palette: the clean white base with gray veining pairs seamlessly with metals, wood tones, and bold color accents, creating a cohesive, high-end look.
-
Value-added option: as a classic marble choice, it brings a durable yet refined aesthetic that can increase perceived value in baths, kitchens, and living areas.
Ideal applications and use cases
- Flawless bathroom floors and shower walls where you want a bright, spa-like atmosphere

- Feature walls and fireplace surrounds that become the focal point of a room
- Indoor patios or mudrooms where lightness and elegance meet practical upkeep with proper sealing
Finish, care, and maintenance insights
-
Sealing matters: seal upon installation and re-seal periodically to protect the porous marble from stains and moisture, especially in wet areas.
-
Cleaning approach: use pH-neutral marble cleaners or mild soap with water; avoid acidic agents like lemon, vinegar, or certain cleaners that can etch the surface.
-
Spill management: wipe up spills promptly to prevent etching or staining, particularly with acidic or fruity liquids.
-
Protection tips: use felt pads under furniture, use mats at entryways, and maintain proper ventilation in moisture-prone spaces to preserve the finish.
Practical design tips
- Pair polished tiles with chrome or brushed nickel fixtures to amplify a luxurious, bright ambiance; opt for cooler grout shades to maintain a crisp, modern edge.
- For a timeless look, mix the 6x12 with complementary sizes (like small mosaics or larger slabs) in a coordinated pattern to add depth without overpowering the veining.
- Consider a honed finish in wet zones for enhanced slip resistance, then balance with a polished accent somewhere else for contrast.
