Polished marble hexagon mosaic tile in 2x2 format
Material: Natural Carrara marble from Italian quarries. Finish: Polished surface with honed edges on hexagonal tiles. Format: 2x2 inch hexagon mosaic sheets. Construction: Individual hexagons mounted on mesh backing for sheet installation. Density: Standard marble density approximately 170 lbs per cubic foot. Porosity: Natural marble is porous; requires sealing for wet environments. Slip resistance: Polished finish provides low COF (coefficient of friction), approximately 0.4-0.6 wet.
Optimal for wall applications and accent installations. Polished Carrara marble is not recommended for floor use due to low slip resistance and polished surface wear characteristics. Suitable for backsplashes, shower surrounds (with proper sealing), and decorative wall features. Natural stone requires annual sealing in wet environments to prevent water absorption and staining. Hexagon mosaic format allows creative layout patterns. Individual tile thickness typically 3/8 inch. Mesh backing simplifies installation compared to individual hex placement.
