About Statuario Marble 18×36 Honed Tile

Material Education

Statuario marble is one of the most coveted stones in the world, quarried from the Apuan Alps in Tuscany and prized for its exceptionally bright white background and bold, sweeping grey veins. Unlike the softer tones of Carrara, Statuario exhibits a dramatic contrast between its luminous white field and its thick, expressive veining that ranges from warm grey to deep charcoal. The stone carries a subtle crystalline structure that catches light beautifully, lending interiors a sense of depth and quiet luxury.

As a genuine natural stone, each Statuario tile will differ in veining intensity, direction, and distribution — this variation is the hallmark of authentic marble and ensures that no two installations are exactly alike.

About this tile: This 18×36 large-format honed tile offers an expansive canvas for Statuario's dramatic veining, with the matte honed finish softening the stone's surface to a smooth, velvety appearance that emphasizes depth of color over reflectivity. The generous format minimizes grout joints, creating a seamless, gallery-like surface ideal for feature walls and floor fields.

Design & Inspiration

Statuario's crisp white base and bold grey veining pairs naturally with warm brushed brass or aged bronze fixtures, matte black hardware, and rich materials like dark walnut or white oak cabinetry, complementing both minimalist contemporary and refined transitional interiors. Its dramatic palette reads equally at home in a sleek urban bathroom, a spa-inspired retreat, or a classically proportioned foyer.

The 18×36 format lends itself to floor-to-ceiling feature walls, primary bathroom floors laid in a straight or offset pattern, and large open-plan spaces where the oversized tiles reduce visual clutter and let the marble's natural artistry take center stage. The honed finish in particular makes this tile a practical and beautiful choice for bathroom floors, as it offers better slip resistance than polished marble while preserving the stone's elegant character.

Popular design combinations: Statuario 18×36 honed floors paired with matching 4×12 honed Statuario subway walls, brushed brass fixtures, and freestanding soaking tub for a cohesive luxury spa aesthetic.

Premium Natural Stone

Secure Packaging

Statuario marble is among the world's most prestigious natural stones, renowned for its intensely white background and bold, sweeping grey veins that set it apart from other Italian marbles. Quarried from the Apuan Alps in Tuscany, this stone has adorned palaces, sculptures, and landmark interiors for centuries — and its appeal shows no signs of diminishing.

Finished with a precision honing process, this 18×36 tile presents a smooth, matte surface that highlights the depth and contrast of Statuario's veining without the high-gloss reflectivity of polished marble. The large format dramatically reduces the number of grout joints, resulting in a near-seamless look that allows the stone's natural pattern to flow uninterrupted across floors and walls. Honed marble is also more forgiving in high-traffic areas, as surface scratches and light etching are far less visible than on polished stone.

This tile is an exceptional choice for primary bathroom floors, shower surrounds, kitchen floors, and statement feature walls in living areas or foyers. Because Statuario is a lighter, more absorbent stone, sealing before and after grouting is strongly recommended — especially in wet environments. If you are designing around a specific vein pattern or matching adjacent tiles, we recommend ordering a sample before committing to your full quantity.

Free Shipping: This product ships at standard freight rates calculated at checkout based on your location and order size.

Processing & Delivery: Orders are processed within 2–3 business days. Large orders ship via LTL freight — curbside delivery only. An adult must be present to sign for delivery. Estimated transit: 2–10 business days after shipment.

30-Day Returns: Uninstalled tile may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Inspect all tile carefully before installation — installed tile cannot be returned or exchanged. Samples are final sale.

Exclusions: Free shipping does not apply to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses. Additional charges may apply for remote delivery areas.

Sealing: Statuario marble must be sealed prior to installation and again after grouting with a premium penetrating stone sealer. In wet areas such as showers and bathroom floors, reseal every 12 months or as soon as water no longer beads on the surface. The bright white background of Statuario is particularly susceptible to staining from oils, wine, and colored liquids, so prompt sealing and maintenance are essential.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner or a few drops of dish soap diluted in warm water — never use vinegar, bleach, ammonia, or citrus-based products, as these will etch the marble surface. Although the honed finish is more forgiving than polished marble, acidic substances can still dull and mark the surface over time. Wipe up spills immediately, especially on kitchen floors where food and liquids are common.

Installation: Use white polymer-modified thinset mortar to avoid any grey bleed-through showing beneath the translucent white stone. Back-butter each tile in addition to applying thinset to the substrate to ensure full coverage and prevent hollow spots — critical for large-format tiles. Use tile leveling clips during installation to maintain a flat, lippage-free surface, and select a non-sanded or unsanded grout in a bright white tone to complement the stone's coloring.

Important: Inspect all tile before installation. Variations in color, veining, and texture between pieces are natural characteristics of genuine stone — not defects. Order 10% overage for cuts, waste, and future repairs. Tile & Mosaic Depot specialists are available M–F 8:30AM–5PM PST at 855-797-8453.

Product & Installation Guidance

Natural stone is a product of the earth — every piece is one of a kind. A little planning ensures your finished installation looks its best and lasts for decades.

Natural Variation
Color, veining, texture, shade, movement, finish, and sizing vary from piece to piece. Product photos and samples are a general reference and may not match the exact material you receive. These variations are inherent characteristics of natural stone — they are part of its beauty, not defects.

Before You Install

Order roughly 10% extra to allow for cuts, waste, and future repairs.
Blend tiles from multiple boxes as you work to achieve the most natural, balanced appearance.
Dry-lay and inspect the full layout before setting a single tile.
Installation constitutes full acceptance of the product, so review everything carefully first.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer before and after installation, and re-sealed periodically in wet or high-traffic areas. Clean only with a pH-neutral stone cleaner; avoid acidic products, bleach, vinegar, and ammonia, which can permanently etch the surface. Outdoor installations may weather or change tone over time with exposure.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot is not responsible for improper installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, product misuse, or damage from improper handling, sealing, maintenance, or harsh chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements can be accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65: Some natural stone products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
