Calacatta Gris is a marble tile that is part of the Completa Series. It is a white marble with very faint, warm grey details dispersed throughout each piece. It is a white marble that compliments modern and traditional installations alike. Split 4 × 16 tiles are intended to be installed closely together, without a grout joint, so grouting is not recommended. Piece to piece variation in shade or color are inherent in all natural stone products; therefore, when installing natural stone tile, it is recommended to mix tiles from several boxes at a time during installation to achieve the best range of color. When installing white marble, you must use a white thinset; using grey thinset will leave trowel lines and could stain the marble. As natural stone products, it is recommended that these be sealed to extend their longevity.
For proper bonding LFT/LHT mortar for large format and heavy tiles should be used when installing tiles with dimensional length greater than 15 in. and rectangular shape and plank tile per industry standards. Proper thinset coverage is also necessary and in some cases back buttering of the tile may be required.
