Manhattan

Manhattan is quarried from a bedrock quarry. During the winter months, this quarry is shut down for a period of time because of the harsh conditions of snow and ice. This is a metamorphic stone that evolved from limestone due to extreme heat and pressure. It is also a softer stone and may be susceptible to scratching or abrasion. As a natural stone product, it is recommended that it be sealed to extend its longevity. When installing white marble you must use a white thin-set. Using grey thinset will leave trowel lines and could stain the marble. It’s possible for this white marble to have small white spots that look like stun marks. These white spots happen naturally within the marble and are inherent to most white marbles. It’s also possible to have tiny pinholes that do not get filled by the polyester resin during processing.

Piece to piece variation in shade or color are inherent in all-natural stone products; therefore, when installing natural stone tile, it is recommended to mix tiles from several boxes at a time during installation to achieve the best range of color. As natural stone products, it is recommended that these be sealed to extend their longevity.
