Six sheets to a box, 1.83 square feet, each sheet covering 0.31.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurves without shine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn arabesque outline interlocks along curved edges, so the sheets join without a straight grid appearing between them. Choosing a fine textured finish over a polished one keeps a brown marble from looking lacquered and hides the small marks that polish would show. Variation is moderate, so tone moves across an area, as it does with most marble waterjet mosaics cut from a natural block. Sheets are 3\/8 inch. A 4x36 threshold matches for a doorway. Interlocking shapes also mean the perimeter needs planning, because a cut curve is more noticeable at an edge than a cut square would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterlocking curves\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheets join along the shape rather than on a straight line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreshold to match\u003c\/strong\u003e A 4x36 piece in the same stone finishes an opening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRated almost everywhere indoors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe approval list is long and covers interiors of most kinds, vertical and horizontal, domestic and commercial, wet rooms included on both walls and floors. Rooms named are living room, bathroom and kitchen. Against that breadth sits the coverage: 1.83 square feet a box means 38 boxes to fill 60 square feet, which is why this tends to be specified for a panel, a border or a niche. Full adhesive contact behind each sheet matters as much here as with any stone mosaic, since an unsupported curve is where a crack begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCostly to spread\u003c\/strong\u003e Low coverage per box makes wide areas an expensive way to use it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen several boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate variation spreads best when boxes are mixed during setting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurves, not a grid\u003c\/strong\u003e Interlocking shapes break the rectangular rhythm of ordinary tile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarks stay hidden\u003c\/strong\u003e A fine texture forgives what a polished brown would show.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransition solved\u003c\/strong\u003e The matching threshold takes care of a doorway.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeal after installation and again every one to two years.
