Silver Horizon Rock Face Forever Marble Mosaics 12x12

Forever is a marble mosaic with a rock face finish, meaning the visible surface has been split rather than sawn, so each piece keeps the natural fracture of the stone. Sheets are 12x12 and cover a square foot, six to a box.

Split, not cut

A rock face is produced by splitting stone along its natural line, which leaves an uneven surface with real depth. Thickness is recorded as random for exactly that reason: no two pieces stand the same height. Silver Horizon gives it a grey ground, and the style is logged as rustic. A 1x12 flatiron trim is available in the same stone for finishing an edge. Light is what makes a split surface work: raking across it, the relief reads as a field of small shadows, while flat light flattens it back towards an ordinary grey.

• Random relief Thickness varies by piece, since the surface is split rather than sawn.
• Flatiron trim A 1x12 profile in the same stone caps an edge.

Shower floors is the recorded usage, living room the noted room. Twelve boxes cover 60 square feet with cutting allowed. An uneven surface needs more grout and more attention during setting, because the bedding has to accommodate pieces of differing thickness without leaving voids underneath. Grout also behaves differently against an uneven face, so allowing extra material and extra time for cleaning it off is realistic.

• Twelve boxes Six square feet a box across 60 square feet.
• Bed it carefully Pieces of varying thickness need adhesive that fills behind all of them.

Why we chose it

• Real texture A split face gives depth that no printed or moulded surface reproduces.
• Simple counting One sheet covers one square foot.
• Edge covered The matching flatiron finishes a perimeter.

Care

Seal after installation and reseal every one to two years. A textured surface holds cleaning product in its hollows, so rinse properly, and keep to a pH neutral stone cleaner rather than anything acidic.
