MSI Carrara White Marble Tile

Quarried in the mountains of Carrara, Italy, Carrara White marble has defined timeless design for centuries — soft white grounds traced with feathery gray veining. This field tile line runs from classic 3x6 subway to statement 18x18 formats in honed and polished finishes, plus the sculpted Milano Ribbon and Valentino Fluto 12x24 panels for walls with real depth. As a natural stone, no two tiles are identical — the veining and tone shift from piece to piece, which is exactly what gives a Carrara installation its hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind character.

Features

• Genuine Italian Carrara White marble with soft white grounds and delicate gray veining, quarried in Carrara, Italy.
• Honed and polished finishes across six field sizes, from 3x6 subway to 18x18.
• Dimensional accent panels — sculpted Milano Ribbon and Valentino Fluto 12x24 for statement walls with real depth.
• Natural variation is expected — veining, tone, and movement differ from tile to tile and lot to lot; order your full quantity at once and dry-lay before setting for the best blend.
• Seal before use — as a porous natural stone, Carrara must be sealed at installation and periodically thereafter; clean only with a pH-neutral stone cleaner.
• Versatile — suits floors, walls, showers, and backsplashes in residential and commercial spaces.

• Natural-stone sealer — an impregnating/penetrating sealer; marble must be sealed before grouting and periodically after.
• White thinset mortar — use a white polymer-modified thinset (never gray) so it will not shadow through the translucent marble.
