White Carrara Marble

White Carrara Marble Collection features iconic Italian marble with soft white tones and graceful gray veining. This marble creates timeless, elegant interiors with classic design appeal.

About White Carrara Marble Polished Pencil Liner

Material Education

White Carrara marble is quarried from the legendary Apuan Alps of northern Italy, prized for centuries for its soft white to light grey base and delicate, feathery blue-grey veining. The polished surface amplifies the stone's natural luminosity, revealing a smooth, reflective sheen that highlights every subtle variation in tone and pattern. Carrara is among the most iconic and widely recognized marbles in the world, lending a timeless elegance to any application.

As a genuine natural stone, each Carrara pencil liner will display its own unique veining pattern and tonal nuance — these variations are the hallmark of authentic marble and add to the character and beauty of the finished installation.

About this molding: This slim 1/2×12 pencil liner molding is a slender, elongated trim piece sold per linear foot, designed to create refined border accents, transitions, and detail lines between field tiles, decorative mosaics, or at the edges of tile installations.

Design & Inspiration

The cool white and soft grey palette of Carrara pairs beautifully with polished chrome or brushed nickel fixtures, white oak cabinetry, crisp white subway tile, and bold contrasts like Nero Marquina black marble accents, suiting modern, spa, transitional, and classic design styles equally. Its understated elegance reads as both luxurious and quietly restrained, making it one of the most versatile trim pieces in any natural stone palette.

A pencil liner in this slender profile is ideal for framing backsplash fields, creating horizontal banding in shower surrounds, or delineating decorative insets — the narrow format draws the eye without overpowering the surrounding tile. The high-polish finish creates a clean, jewel-like line that adds depth and definition to large flat tile fields.

Popular design combinations: pair this Carrara pencil liner with a Carrara 3×6 polished subway field tile and a Thassos white hexagon mosaic floor for a layered, all-marble spa bathroom.

The White Carrara Marble Polished Pencil Liner is a refined natural stone trim molding cut from authentic Carrara marble, sourced from the storied quarries of the Apuan Alps in Europe. Its soft white ground and signature blue-grey feathery veining make it one of the most classically beautiful and universally loved stones in interior design.

Finished to a high polish, this 1/2×12 pencil liner delivers a smooth, mirror-like surface that catches light and creates a crisp, elegant line — perfect for bordering backsplashes, defining shower niches, or adding subtle banding detail to wall tile installations. The slender profile integrates seamlessly without competing with surrounding tile designs.

This pencil liner is ideal for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, shower surrounds, and vanity accents where a polished stone border adds a finishing touch of luxury. Because polished marble is more susceptible to etching from acidic substances, sealing is strongly recommended; ordering a sample first is advised to confirm color match with your field tile.

Free Shipping: As a molding, 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: White Carrara marble should be sealed with a penetrating natural stone sealer prior to grouting and immediately after installation. In wet areas such as showers, reseal every 6–12 months to maintain stain resistance. The pale, porous nature of Carrara makes consistent sealing especially important to prevent discoloration.

Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. Never use vinegar, lemon juice, bleach, or any acidic or alkaline cleaner on polished marble — these will etch the surface, leaving dull spots that cannot be reversed without professional re-polishing. Wipe spills immediately, especially oils, wine, and citrus.

Installation: Use a bright white polymer-modified thinset mortar to prevent any grey bleed-through showing beneath this pale stone. Set with a notched trowel and ensure full back coverage for consistent adhesion. Non-sanded grout is recommended for the narrow grout joint typical of pencil liner installations. Use painter's tape along the liner during grouting to protect the polished surface from scratching.

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.

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.
