Hi, I received the sample of Botticino 1X2 Marble Split-Faced Mosaic Tile [ASIN: B003K7OQBE]. It matches my limestone tile perfectly. I see that the light 1 x 2 split face travertine mosaic tile may be a good choice also. Can you confirm the difference in the two tiles? I need about 55 tiles asap for a half bath vanity wall. Please help so I can expedite an order. Thanks. Susan Hollis Hi, I received the sample of Botticino 1X2 Marble Split-Faced Mosaic Tile [ASIN: B003K7OQBE]. It matches my limestone tile perfectly.

I wouldn't buy this tile. I got stuck with a large order of it that the vendor wouldn't take back. My professional tile installer could not get the tiles to fit together properly. The are nice looking and the color is great but the tile to tile fit is off.

Well i did not buy any marble tiles...I only got travertine and it is amazing, but never ever buy from two different companies...they look completely different if they are not from the same place...oracle tile was amazing...then I needed six more and somehow marble and things inserted itself in my email...if I need more....i guess advertisement trick to make me think this is where I ordered from....never bothered to check since it was clear...do you need more tules...blah blah... I purchased and they were such a poor quality and very thin....about half an inch thinner than those by oracle....so stick with one company throughout....

It is a peel and stick tile with some flexibility. I would recommend a staggered pattern. We started with a full tile in row one and then cut the first tile in the second row in half and laid that, it gives it a more natural wood floor look. The easiest way to remember the pattern is odd rows have full tiles, even rows have half tiles.

It looks like picture 1. I think the lighting is different in the other pics or maybe they were taken with a gray grout. It looks great in our kitchen! :)

The tiles on my table are all set evenly and seem well grouted so far (I've had it at least 5 months). It looks like whatever type of grout you would normally use on tile (for example, if it was a tiled kitchen wall). I have not had any breaks or cracks so far but I have tried to be careful because I am concerned that it wouldn't take much force to cause one (the tiles seem a little thin but you wouldn't want them a lot thicker anyway because that would add to the weight of the table).

I used 9 cases of this tile and after extensive research I went with Bostik 9-lbs Diamond Glass Urethane Premixed Grout. Its actually microscopic glass beads in a urethane base and is semi transparent. It feels like wet beach sand out of the container. Its expensive at $90 a tub but goes a long way (I used 2 tubs with 9 cases) and looks awesome. I was gonna order it online but discovered Lowes carries it. jim

I have had this vanity since July 2014. I absolutely love it. That said, my marble top came with a grayish mark about the size of a dime. That would have been fine except there was very little other gray shades. My daughter bought another vanity by this manufacturer and hers has more of the 'marble' look that you would expect. I could have rejected it upon delivery, but I did not. Now, to your question; I have not had any staining but I am on the careful side. I use as few cleaning products as I can, so Bon Ami is basically it. I have not sealed it and do not intend to.I am very happy with it and would buy it all over again.

We used this on a new pool coping install of OK flagstone. We were originally going to go with travertine (even though it cost twice as much)because it is so nice, but, we couldn't find any colors we liked and it was a problem cutting because of the hardness. Anyway, I can only commenton this product as it relates to OK flagstone. The label DOES list travertine as a suitable surface. It didn't make our coping slippery at all. Just broughtout the colors quite a bit and sealed. Travertine is less porous and smoother, though, so I can't say what its affect will be on that. Our pool is fairly small and 3 coats around the pool used about a third of the container. I hope this helps you. Good luck! We used this on a new pool coping install of OK flagstone.

not sure how to answer. I also purchased the 12X12 polished marble that was described as "Bianco Carrara (White Carrera)". Both were purchased through Marble and Things. They were a good match. You might purchase a sample from them to make sure...

The ones I have pulled out are each a little different. I am sure the patterns will repeat, but you could flip them around. I will be using mine next week so ask again and I will let you know how they look. I ordered extra so I could stagger them a bit, like a real hardwood floor. Sharon

This stone comes from Oracle Tile and Stone. I would refer your question to www.oraclestone.com. I have this stone in my kitchen as a backsplash. It is very beautiful.

Hi Connecticut girl, I have not bought any of the Mikasa recently, so I can not compare. I would think if they are different, it would be due to the glaze finish coming from different batches. Just as paint or tile, each batch can be a shade off from each other. When I bought all of mine, all of the place settings were the same. What was different were the add on extra pieces, like the pasta set. That was due to them being made in different plants, in different countries. Their weight and material were not even the same. But, the place settings should be the same, coming from the same plant. I would go back to saying the batch is off from being made a different times. I'm sorry you didn't get the same match that you love so much. Too bad it's not the other way around, then you could pick up more now that match the ones you just bought.

Since I'm getting ready to paint the bathroom where we installed these tiles, I have quite a few paint samples and compared the color of the tiles to the samples and also to the white porcelain of the toilet and tub. I would say that the white of the tiles isn't the stark white of the porcelain, isn't of a creamy white color, but is a cool white with a very very slight gray/blue tone.

I am not an expert on marble, but everyone who has seen mine had admired it and one of my friends (an interior decorator) identified it as Carara (?) marble without me telling her. She was amazed that I purchased it at Amazon.

The only reason I chose the XL over regular Ditra is because of the recommendations for the joist spacing. Ours are spaced 24" apart, which is farther than recommended for the regular Ditra. My travertine tiles were the Versailles pattern, with the largest being 18 X 24, and a year after installation have had zero problems with cracking or shifting of the tiles. I'm sure you would be fine with just the Ditra on a concrete floor, and your tiles are a very mangeble size.

I do not know what the difference would be. I had never tiled walls before. I followed a wonderful series of youtube videos that walked me through step by step. He explained why this was his preferred product. I chose to follow his videos to precision and am happy I did. My bathroom turned out fabulously!!! :-)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95-l9CKoRiE&src;_vid=OODB_RyxJm4&feature;=iv&annotat;ion_id=annotation_3120556069

The box does not give a PEI rating for this Mosaic tile. I used this tile in a bathroom and small utility room. Cutting it required tile nippers and a wet saw. The tile seems pretty tough/dense. I think it hold up quite well in my application. I am not a professional tile installer, just a lowly DIYer. You may want to contact the manufacturer if you absolutely need to know this tiles PEI. Based solely on the link below, I would guess this tiles PEI is between 4 and 5.

Im sorry I cant answer your question,we just bought 1 sample and havent decided if we are doing a backsplash or not. The sample we received looked really good and the colors and pattern were consistent.
