Carrara Marble Tiles - Free Shipping on Sample Orders and Select Items!

It's a particular pleasure to be able to offer up good news to the world of marble tiles and mosaics. After much number crunching, graph making and careful discussion, we decided to offer Free Shipping on select items. And unlike similar offers made by other marble companies, when we say "select items" we mean our TOP SELLING Carrara Marble Products! Last year, we started offering free shipping on sample orders you get. This year, we decided to just eliminate the shipping prices on our favored mosaics and moldings. We realize that bianco carrara marble tiles and mosaics has become steadily more expensive over the past few years. While we have little control over that, we can find a way to reduce the price to you, by finding ever more efficient ways to do what we do.

Yes, carrara marble prices everywhere will likely continue to rise over time, but we've made a commitment to trim that rise back a bit, even if it means making a little less on each tile we ourselves sell. Also worth noting is that we are not claiming pseudo discounts. Prices given at CarraraTiles.com are final and has no percentage discount covering up on them, such as showing price X and reducing it falsely to Y amount.

We're dedicated to consistently bringing you the best selection at the best price we possibly can.

     
    
And since our great selection is hardly limited to carrara marble, we have a wide range of beautiful crema marfil marble & mosaics, white statuario and bianco dolomite collections awaiting your inspection. You'll find spectacular pieces of Afyon gold sugar, light and dark Emperadors, Ivory Travertine, Honey Onyx at our basketweave mosaics section. And, of course, don't miss the stunning nero marquina marble tiles, mosaics & moldings!

Beautify your Home with Elegant Designed Marble Tiles

Marble is a beautiful, versatile and durable natural stone which can be used not only indoors on floors, walls, or even countertops, but also outdoors on patios and fountains.

Marble tiles are an elegant addition to any room, whether in a home or office. Marble is a beautiful, versatile, and durable natural stone which can be used not only indoors on floors, walls, or even countertops, but also outdoors on patios and fountains. Because of the durability and resiliency of marble, once the tiles or mosaics are installed, they will last for many years to come. Additionally, as a natural stone, no two pieces are identical, resulting in stunning contrast and designs. Marble is often the material of choice in high-end renovations because of the resulting increase in value of the home.

Marble Basketweave mosaics allow for multiple colors to be incorporated into the design of any room. These mosaics combine bianco carrara, also known as white carrera, with crema marfil, statuary crystal white, green marble, or negro marquina marble, among others, for beautiful results.

Basketweave mosaics are not the only pattern available. A myriad of alternatives are available to match any room design. Hexagon mosaics come in many sizes, from small honeycomb patterns to 2 inches across each stone. Herringbone mosaics provide a great alternative to the hexagon mosaic which results in a stunning texture to your floors and walls. For a more traditional look, mosaics are also available made with 5/8”, 1” or 2” squares.

If you do not want to use mosaics exclusively, a full range of tile sizes are also available. Subway tiles are small and rectangle, 3” high by 6” long and can easily be installed in a number of different patterns. These subway tiles are available with three different edges—a regular square edge, a pillow edge, or a beveled edge. Larger rectangles measuring 6” by 12” are also available. Square tiles range from 4” by 4”, to 6” by 6”, 12’ by 12’ and even as large as 18” by 18”. The design of your room can incorporate a single size tile, or can use multiple sizes to create a distinctive pattern.

Each mosaic and tile comes in different varieties of marble to best match your taste and the style of the room, including statuary white, crema marfil and bianco carrara. Different finishes are also available for each marble tile and mosaic. A polished finish provides the shiniest look. A honed finish is less shiny. A tumbled finish presents what can best be described as an antiqued look to the marble.
