Elevate your space with the classic warmth of Crema Marfil Marble in a 3” Hexagon Mosaic, offered in both polished and honed finishes. This natural marble from Portugal brings a soft, creamy canvas with delicate gold-inflected veining, creating a timeless backdrop that works beautifully in traditional and contemporary designs alike. The 3-inch hexagon pattern adds a modern geometric twist to classic marble, delivering visual interest without overpowering the room.

As a natural stone, Crema Marfil varies from tile to tile, ensuring a one-of-a-kind installation. Expect subtle shifts in tone and vein patterns across sheets, which you can use to your advantage by mixing pieces for a natural, artisanal look. Each mosaic is mounted on mesh-backed sheets to simplify layout and ensure precise alignment during installation.

Finish options

Polished: A radiant, glossy surface that catches light and enhances the marble’s golden veining. Ideal for countertops, backsplashes, and feature walls where you want a refined, luxe shine that visually expands smaller spaces.

Honed: A smooth, satin finish with a low-gloss, contemporary feel. This option offers a more subdued sheen, less glare, and better slip resistance for bathroom floors and shower surrounds, while maintaining the marble’s warm character.

Ideal applications

• Bathrooms: shower walls and niches, vanity splashbacks, and intimate powder rooms.
• Kitchens: backsplashes that pair beautifully with warm wood tones or brass hardware.
• Living spaces: accent walls or fireplace surrounds that draw the eye without overwhelming the room.
• Entryways and mudrooms: a durable statement that welcomes guests with timeless elegance.

Why this mosaic stands out

• Timeless color palette: warm crema beige with subtle veining that pairs with a wide range of neutrals and metals.
• Modern geometry, classic material: the 3” hexagon pattern adds architectural interest while preserving the marble’s natural beauty.
• Versatile finishes: choose polished for glamour or honed for a contemporary, matte look and improved slip resistance in wet areas.
• Practical installation: mesh-mounted sheets simplify alignment and spacing, helping you achieve a clean, cohesive layout.

Installation & care tips

• Prepare a flat, clean substrate and use a cement backer board or approved substrate for wet areas.
• Install with a high-quality thin-set mortar suitable for natural stone; back-butter tiles to promote full contact and reduce lippage.
• Seal the marble after installation to protect against staining and etching; follow the sealant manufacturer’s guidance and re-seal as recommended, typically every 6–12 months depending on traffic and use.
• Grout with a light, non-staining color that complements the warm tones; avoid acidic cleaners that can etch marble.
• Maintain with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and wipe spills promptly to preserve the marble’s beauty and longevity.
