A closer look at Long Island Carrara
White and grey, brought into rhythm.
Alternating pale Carrara and grey marble pieces meet at angled points to form a continuous chevron. The contrast comes from the stones themselves: fine natural veining runs through a repeating geometric layout, while the honed face keeps reflected light soft.
Natural marble colour and veining vary across pieces, sheets and batches.
Two tones, one natural palette
White and cool grey create definition without a strong colour accent. Compare the marble alongside your cabinetry, paint and metal finishes in the room’s own light.
A smooth honed face
Honing creates a smooth, low-sheen surface rather than a mirror-polished finish. It does not establish wet slip resistance.
Chevron, point to point
The angled pieces meet in a zigzag repeat. Unlike a staggered herringbone layout, the pointed joins create a continuous directional line across the mesh sheets.
Make it part of your room
A defined feature for a kitchen or bathroom.
Use the white and grey chevron as a kitchen splashback, behind a basin or across a bathroom feature wall. Plain cabinetry and restrained fittings let the angled pattern remain the focus. Agree the direction of the repeat and its centre line before installation.
Your Long Island Carrara project
Why choose this chevron mosaic?
Natural contrast: white and grey marble define the chevron without a printed stone effect.
Quiet sheen: the smooth honed surface gives a softer response to light than polished marble.
Mesh-mounted pattern: connected sheets help position the repeat, while final joint alignment remains part of the installer’s work.
Where to use this marble mosaic
Kitchen splashbacks: bring pattern between a plain worktop and cabinetry; plan socket and end cuts before fixing.
Bathroom walls and niches: use the chevron behind a basin or on a feature wall. Shower walls require an appropriate waterproofing system.
Interior floors: the product is listed for walls and floors. Confirm substrate, loading and slip requirements for the intended location. A honed face and mosaic joints are not a verified wet-slip rating.
Outdoor and frost suitability have not been verified for this guide.
Sheets, boxes and project quantities
Sheet size: 305 × 265mm. Listed thickness: 10mm. Each box contains 5 mesh-mounted sheets, covering 0.404m². Choose In-stock or the available pre-order option in the selector.
Divide your area by 0.404 and round up to whole boxes. 5m² needs 13 boxes, covering 5.252m² before cuts. With a 10% allowance, 5.5m² needs 14 boxes, covering 5.656m².
Add wastage once and allow for chevron alignment, perimeter cuts and spares.
Alignment, grout and sealing
Dry-lay several sheets and choose the chevron direction. Set a centre line through the main focal area, balance the cuts at both ends and keep sheet-to-sheet joints consistent with the joints within each sheet.
Use adhesive and grout specified for natural marble over a correctly prepared substrate. Press sheets evenly so the small pieces sit in one plane. Test grout colour and sealing on a spare piece.
A pale grey grout can soften the joins between the white and grey stones; a contrasting grout makes the geometry more prominent. Test the effect before committing.
Specify waterproofing for wet areas. Follow a compatible marble sealer’s application and curing guidance. Sealing reduces absorption but does not prevent acid etching or replace waterproofing.
Care, samples and natural variation
Clean honed marble with a pH-neutral natural-stone cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe spills promptly and avoid vinegar, acidic descalers and abrasive cleaners.
A small cut shows the colour and honed texture. A full sheet gives a better sense of the chevron repeat. Neither represents every natural marking in a full order; blend sheets from several boxes.
