Calacatta Amber Honed Marble Iggy Maxi Mosaic | 23x151mm Chip

Calacatta Amber Honed Marble Iggy Maxi Mosaic. This contemporary "matchstick" or finger-style mosaic features elongated 23x151mm chips that create a stunning linear rhythm. Carved from premium Calacatta Amber, this stone is celebrated for its creamy white base and warm honey, gold, and soft grey veining, offering a warmer, more inviting alternative to traditional white marbles. The "Iggy Maxi" Linear Aesthetic The Iggy Maxi profile is at the forefront of modern interior design. Its vertical orientation can make low-ceilinged bathrooms feel taller, while its Honed finish provides a velvet-like, matt surface that diffuses light beautifully, making it a favorite for "quiet luxury" spa environments.

Installation & Grouting Note For Calacatta Amber, we recommend using white flexible adhesive to prevent the stone from darkening. To maintain the linear beauty of the 23x151mm chips, use a neutral or matching grout color. Always seal with an impregnating sealer before and after grouting to protect the natural quartz and calcite pores. Frequently Asked Questions Can these be installed horizontally? Yes! While vertical installation is popular for height, installing the Iggy Maxi horizontally creates a wider, modern "brick-bond" look that works exceptionally well for long kitchen backsplashes. How many sheets are in a square metre? There are approximately 11 sheets per m². We always recommend a 15% wastage allowance for mosaics to account for the intricate cuts required around sockets and corners.
