FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do I need a Quarter-Round trim?

Quarter-round molding is used to hide the raw, unfinished edges of field tiles. It provides a professional, rounded transition on outside corners (like in a shower) or where a tile wall ends against a painted wall. It adds a "finished" look that increases the value and aesthetics of your project.

Does this match Carrara "Bianco" or "Venato"?

Carrara marble is a natural product with varying veining patterns. Our Quarter-Round is selected to be a "universal" match for the classic Carrara White palette. However, because it is natural stone, we recommend ordering your trim at the same time as your field tile to ensure the closest color and veining match.

Can this be used inside a shower?

Yes. Carrara marble is a standard choice for high-end showers. Because this trim is Honed, it is less likely to show soap scum or water spots compared to a polished finish.

What is the best way to cut marble trim?

We recommend using a wet saw with a diamond blade designed for natural stone. To prevent chipping, cut slowly and ensure the stone is well-supported.

Does the trim need to be sealed?

Yes. Like all natural marble, this trim should be sealed with a high-quality penetrating sealer during installation to prevent staining and moisture absorption.

INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE TIPS

• Miter the Corners: For a professional look on 90-degree corners, miter the quarter-round at a 45-degree angle.

• Use White Thinset: To maintain the bright white color of the marble, always use a white polymer-modified thinset.

• Clean with Care: Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners. Avoid acidic products (like vinegar) which can "etch" or dull the surface of the marble.

• Seal Annually: To keep your trim looking pristine, reseal it once a year along with your main tile surfaces.
