Question 10

Will my marble mosaic tiles look like the sample?

Accepted Answer

Your sample is an excellent guide for the general look, feel, finish, and thickness of your eventual marble mosaic tiles. With that said, we advise against using it as a guarantee of colour, veins, or fossils. Marble mosaic tile samples may not always show the full variation of a tile.

We advise a combination of looking at photos of the marble mosaic tile in other customer projects, artist impressions, and scanning the QR code behind the sample for a video demonstration.
