Olympia Tile Marble Botticino Honed Linear Mosaic 12" x 12"

A shower floor has to slope to the drain. Small pieces on a mesh sheet are what let the tile follow that slope, and the extra grout lines give your feet more grip.

In simple terms: Botticino Linear is a 12x12 marble mosaic for floors and walls, indoors.

It is the honed finish in Botticino from the Olympia Tile Marble range. The pattern or piece type is linear. Each sheet measures 12.01" x 12.01", or 30.5 x 30.5 cm.

It is rated for light commercial traffic. This is natural stone, so shade and veining change from piece to piece. Seal it after install and clean it with a pH-neutral cleaner.

It suits shower floors, bathroom floors, backsplashes and accent strips in a shower. Pick it over a marble look porcelain if you want the real stone and are fine sealing it; pick the porcelain if you want no upkeep.

Each sheet covers 1 sq ft, so a 40 sq ft bathroom floor takes 40 sheets, or 44 sheets with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. It is sold by the sheet, so you order exactly the count you need. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 110 sheets with the 10% extra included.

No outdoor rating is listed, so keep it indoors: no porches, patios or exterior walls. Its commercial rating is light traffic, so keep it out of busy commercial floors.

In this size, the Marble range also comes in Cinderella Grey, Light Beige with Emperador Dot, Bianco Wood, Dolomite White and Bianco Carrara. Botticino also comes in 2" x 4", 3" x 6" and 4" x 4".
