H1 Heading: Hexagon Royal Calacatta Gold – 12" x 13.75" Polished Marble Tile
Product Overview
Add a touch of regal sophistication to your home with the Hexagon Royal Calacatta Gold. This oversized hexagon tile reimagines classic Italian marble in a bold, geometric format. Featuring the iconic crisp white background and dramatic gold-and-grey veining that Calacatta is famous for, this tile represents the pinnacle of high-end architectural design.
Modern Honeycomb Elegance
Unlike standard marble, Royal Calacatta Gold is prized for its high-contrast patterns and warm honey-gold undertones. The large-format 12" x 13.75" hexagon shape offers a modern twist on a traditional material, creating a stunning "honeycomb" effect that adds movement and visual interest to any surface while significantly reducing the number of grout lines.
The Luxury of Polished Marble
The high-gloss, polished finish does more than just shine; it acts as a mirror for your room’s lighting, making even smaller bathrooms or kitchens feel significantly larger and brighter. Every tile is a work of art, featuring unique natural veining that ensures your installation is completely one-of-a-kind.
Key Features & Benefits
• Bold Geometric Scale: Large-format hexagons provide an expansive, modern look with fewer grout lines to maintain.
• Premium Polished Finish: A high-gloss surface that reflects light and highlights the depth of the marble’s gold and grey veining.
• Warm Tonal Palette: Royal Calacatta is distinguished by its honey-gold highlights, which pair perfectly with modern brass and champagne bronze hardware.
• Versatile Application: Rated for use as a high-impact kitchen backsplash, a dramatic feature wall, or a luxury bathroom floor.
• Natural Variation: As a product of nature, no two tiles are identical, providing a custom-tailored look for every project.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can this marble be used in a shower?
Yes. Royal Calacatta Gold is a popular choice for shower walls and bathroom floors. Because this is a polished natural stone, we recommend using a bath mat on the floor to prevent slipping when wet, or using it primarily for wall applications.
What color grout should I use with Calacatta Gold?
To achieve a seamless, high-end look, most designers recommend a bright white or a very light grey grout. This allows the hexagon shape and the gold veining to remain the focal point without being distracted by dark grout lines.
How do I prevent the marble from staining?
Marble is a porous stone. We strongly recommend using a high-quality impregnating sealer both before and after grouting. This creates an invisible barrier that protects against moisture and staining while maintaining the stone's natural brilliance.
Is this tile suitable for heated floors?
Absolutely. Marble is an excellent conductor of heat, making it one of the best materials for use with radiant in-floor heating systems in master bathrooms.
Does this tile require a special thin-set?
Yes. For white marble like Calacatta Gold, you should always use a white polymer-modified thin-set. Using a grey mortar can "shadow" through the stone, making the white marble appear dull or muddy.

Natural Stone Care & Maintenance Guide
Daily Cleaning & Surface Care
- Use pH-Neutral Cleaners: Only use cleaners specifically formulated for natural stone. Avoid vinegar, lemon juice, bleach, or generic "all-purpose" sprays, as acidic substances will chemically etch (dull) the marble surface.
- Soft Application: Use a clean microfiber cloth or a soft mop. Never use abrasive scrubbing pads, steel wool, or vacuum attachments with "beater bars" that can scratch the polished finish.
- Immediate Spill Response: Natural stone is porous. Blot spills immediately with a clean paper towel; do not wipe, as this spreads the liquid.
Long-Term Protection
- Professional Sealing: A high-quality penetrating sealer must be applied upon installation. For high-traffic areas or kitchen backsplashes, re-sealing is recommended every 6–12 months to maintain a moisture barrier.
- Heat & Acid Protection: Always use coasters, trivets, and placemats. Marble is sensitive to thermal shock and acidic reactions from wine, coffee, and citrus.
- Debris Management: For floor installations, use walk-off mats at entrances. Dust-mop frequently to remove sand and grit that act as abrasives underfoot.
