About DC Metro Franconia Thassos White & Bianco Carrara Mosaic Tile

Material Education

This mosaic blends two of the world's most celebrated white marbles: Thassos White, a pure crystalline marble quarried from the Greek island of Thassos renowned for its brilliant snow-white opacity and glittering sugar-crystal texture, and Bianco Carrara, the timeless Italian marble prized for its soft white-to-light-grey ground with delicate blue-grey veining. Together they create a composition that is simultaneously luminous and quietly sophisticated, with a lively interplay of matte crystalline brightness and softly veined elegance.

As genuine natural stone, each chip will display its own subtle tonal shifts and veining nuances — this natural variation is a hallmark of authentic marble, not an inconsistency, and contributes to the mosaic's organic, handcrafted character.

About this mosaic: Individual marble chips are pre-arranged in a metro-style linear staggered pattern on a mesh-backed sheet, allowing for fast, professional-looking installations that align precisely with minimal effort. The ready-to-install sheets dramatically reduce layout time compared to setting individual pieces.

Design & Inspiration

The cool white-and-grey palette pairs beautifully with polished chrome or brushed nickel fixtures, warm white oak cabinetry, and soft greige or bright white grout — lending itself equally to clean contemporary, transitional, and classic spa-inspired interiors. The contrast between Thassos's pure white brilliance and Carrara's subtle veining adds visual depth without introducing bold color.

The metro staggered-brick layout is a perennially popular format for backsplashes and shower walls, where its linear rhythm draws the eye horizontally and makes narrow spaces feel wider and more open. The polished finish reflects light generously, amplifying the brightness of any room and creating a jewel-like, refined surface.

Popular design combinations: pair with Carrara marble hexagon floor tile, matte white subway field tile accents, and polished chrome fittings for a cohesive luxury bath suite. Explore the full Thassos White collection for coordinating sizes, and browse more marble mosaics for complementary looks.

The DC Metro Franconia mosaic combines Thassos White — Greece's iconic snow-white crystalline marble — with Bianco Carrara, Italy's beloved soft-white marble with blue-grey veining, creating a two-tone composition that is effortlessly elegant and enduringly classic.

Finished to a high polish and arranged in a staggered metro-brick pattern on a mesh-backed sheet, this mosaic delivers a light-reflective, spa-quality surface that installs quickly and aligns easily row by row. The polished surface maximizes the natural luminosity of both marbles, making walls and backsplashes glow.

Ideal for kitchen backsplashes, master bath shower walls, and powder room feature walls, this mosaic is equally at home in both residential and boutique commercial settings — we recommend ordering a sample to appreciate the interplay of the two marbles before committing to a full order.

Free Shipping: As a mosaic, this product qualifies for free curbside shipping on orders over $1,999 within the continental U.S. Orders below that threshold ship at standard rates calculated at checkout.

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: Both Thassos White and Bianco Carrara are relatively porous natural marbles that must be sealed before grouting and regularly thereafter. In wet areas such as showers, reseal every 6–12 months with a penetrating impregnating sealer formulated for white marble. Pay particular attention to Thassos, which — despite its density — can absorb colored grout and cleaning products if left unsealed.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone soap or mild dish soap diluted in warm water; wipe dry promptly to prevent water spots on the polished surface. Never use acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon, or citrus-based products), bleach, or abrasive scrubbers — acids etch polished marble instantly, leaving dull marks that require professional refinishing. Blot spills immediately, especially oils, wine, and coffee.

Installation: Use bright white polymer-modified thinset mortar to prevent any grey bleed-through on the translucent Thassos chips. Apply non-sanded grout in joints under 1/8 inch to protect the polished chip edges. Back-butter each sheet in addition to the wall for maximum adhesion. Align mesh sheets carefully before pressing into place and use a grout float or rubber mallet and beating block to ensure all chips are fully seated and flush.

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.

Why Order a Sample
A screen can't show you how Calacatta veining reads under your kitchen lights or how a porcelain finish sits next to your cabinet color. A sample can. It's the single best way to buy stone or porcelain tile with confidence — and the cheapest mistake you'll ever avoid.

How It Works
Samples are $7.99 each. Samples ship free and leave our warehouse within 1–3 business days. Sizes vary by material and availability — typically 3"×3" up to 8"×8" — and every sample is cut from the same material stocked for full orders.

What a Sample Shows
Color, texture, finish, and overall character. Because natural stone varies piece to piece, one sample represents the material but can't show the full range of a lot. Porcelain samples are highly representative of the production run. Want to see the current lot before you commit? Ask us — we'll send photos.

Good to Know

Samples are final sale — non-returnable and non-refundable.
We recommend sampling before every full order, especially for natural stone.

Talk to a Specialist
Our stone and tile specialists will help you narrow it down. Call (855) 797-8453 or email sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com, Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–5 PM PT.

How Your Order Ships
In-stock orders leave our warehouse within 2–3 business days. Stone, porcelain, and mosaic ship on a pallet via scheduled LTL freight and arrive 2–10 business days after dispatch, depending on destination. You'll get tracking and the carrier's name by email the day it ships.

Freight Delivery — What to Expect

The carrier calls you first. Every freight delivery is by appointment. Expect a call or text to set a window before the truck is dispatched.
Curbside delivery. The driver unloads to the curb or driveway. Freight does not include carrying material indoors or into a garage — plan for a helper or a hand truck.
Someone 18+ must sign. Inspect the pallet before signing. Note any damage, shortage, or broken shrink-wrap on the delivery receipt — this is what makes a claim valid.
Truck access. The address must be accessible to a full-size freight truck with enough space to unload.

Free Shipping
Free curbside freight on qualifying mosaic and molding orders over $1,999 in the continental U.S. Field tile, porcelain, and other product types ship at freight rates shown at checkout. Not available to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses.

Damage & Shortages
Report within 3 calendar days of delivery with photos of the pallet, packaging, and affected pieces to sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com. Verified claims are covered. Shortages of 1–5 pieces are refunded rather than reshipped — which is why we recommend ordering 10% overage.

30-Day Returns
Uninstalled tile in full, unopened boxes may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Return freight is paid by the customer. Partial boxes, opened boxes, installed material, and samples are final sale.

Questions Before You Order?
Call (855) 797-8453 or email sales@tileandmosaicdepot.com, Monday–Friday 8:30 AM–5 PM PT. If you're unsure about freight access at your address, ask us before checkout — we'll flag anything that could hold up delivery.

Natural Variation
Quarried stone varies in color, veining, shade, movement, and finish from piece to piece and from lot to lot. Screen photos and samples show the range, not the exact tile you'll receive. Variation is the nature of the material and is never grounds for return. Porcelain is far more consistent, but shade and pattern can still shift between production runs — buy your full quantity in one order.

Before You Install

Order 10% overage. Covers cuts, breakage, and spares for future repairs. Reorders may not match in tone or lot.
Inspect every piece before setting. Pull from all boxes, blend, and dry-lay the full area. Installation is acceptance — no claims are honored once tile is set.
Hire a qualified installer. Natural stone and large-format porcelain require experience with the material. Your installer is responsible for substrate, setting materials, and method.

Sealing & Care
Natural stone should be sealed with a penetrating sealer and re-sealed periodically in wet and high-traffic areas. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner only — vinegar, bleach, ammonia, and acidic cleaners etch marble, limestone, travertine, and onyx permanently. Porcelain does not require sealing. Outdoor stone weathers and shifts in tone over time; this is expected.

Responsibility
Tile & Mosaic Depot supplies material only. We are not responsible for installation, labor costs, substrate conditions, setting materials, product misuse, or damage from handling, sealing, maintenance, or chemicals. No claims, returns, or replacements are accepted on installed material.

California Proposition 65
Some natural stone and porcelain products contain substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Details at www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
