Alpina White Honed Subway Marble Tiles 2 3/4x5 1/2

Alpina White is a white marble with very little movement, cut here into a small subway at 2 3/4x5 1/2 inches. The face is honed to a matte finish and the edges are bevelled, which gives every tile a shadow line once it is set. It is rated for shower walls and floors, bath floors and walls, backsplashes and light interior floors. Tiles come sixty to a box, covering 6.3 square feet, and each piece is 3/8 inch thick. Keep it indoors, since this marble is not frost rated.

Where this size earns its place is the tight work: a niche, a curved wall, the run above a vanity, the band between two cabinets.
