Bianco Carrara Honed - 3x6 Marble Tile - tile
Natural marble tile with honed matte finish
Selected Color: BIANCO CARRARA HONED
Technical Specifications
Material composition: Natural Carrara marble from Italian quarries. Finish: Honed (matte), non-reflective surface with slight texture. Format: 3 inches by 6 inches with pressed edges. Thickness: 0.125 inches (1/8 inch). Density and porosity typical of natural marble—absorbs moisture and requires sealing for wet environments. Surface hardness rated for light to moderate foot traffic in residential applications.
Application & Performance
Primary applications: Interior wall cladding, bathroom walls, accent features, and decorative installations. Not recommended for high-traffic floor areas or outdoor exposure without protective sealing. Honed finish provides slip resistance compared to polished marble but requires regular sealing to prevent staining from acidic substances. Suitable for dry to moderately humid environments. Limited suitability for shower enclosures without professional waterproofing. Natural stone variation in veining and coloration is inherent to material—not a defect.
