The Queen of Stones: Calacatta Viola Marble

Indulge in the ultimate luxury with the Calacatta Viola Honed Marble Tile—an iconic Italian stone that commands attention with its dramatic, sweeping veins of deep burgundy and rich violet.

Quarried in Italy, **Calacatta Viola** is one of the most prestigious marbles in the world. Unlike subtle Carrara, Viola is bold and unapologetic; its creamy white base is heavily brecciated with striking purple and wine-red markings that turn every tile into a unique natural canvas. The **Honed finish** provides a smooth, matt surface that feels velvety to the touch, softening the intense colours for a sophisticated, contemporary look that works beautifully on both floors and walls.

⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Sealing is Essential: Marble is porous. You must clean and seal the tiles **before and after** grouting using a premium impregnating sealer (such as Lithofin MN Stain Stop) to protect against staining.
  • Dry Laying: Because of the "Extreme Variation," we strongly recommend dry-laying your tiles before fixing. Open multiple boxes and mix the tiles to balance the heavy purple veins with the lighter white sections.
  • Adhesive: Always use a **White** flexible tile adhesive. Grey adhesive can shadow through the lighter, translucent parts of the marble.
  • Cleaning: Never use bleach, vinegar, or acidic bathroom cleaners on marble. Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners to preserve the honed surface.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as the mosaic?

This listing is for the large format tile (30.5 x 61cm). We also stock the Hexagon Mosaic version if you prefer a more intricate pattern for shower floors or splashbacks.

Why is there so much colour variation?

Calacatta Viola is famous for its wild, unpredictable beauty. "Extreme variation" is a key characteristic. Some tiles may be mostly white with thin veins, while others may be dominated by deep purple brecciation. This variety creates the authentic luxury look.

Does it need sealing?

Yes. As a natural marble, it is sensitive to moisture and acids. It must be sealed upon installation and resealed periodically to maintain its resistance to stains.

Can I use it in a shower?

Yes, it is suitable for shower walls and floors. However, ensure it is well-sealed, and wipe down surfaces after use to prevent limescale build-up, as acidic limescale removers cannot be used on marble.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?

We are natural stone specialists. We can supply the correct white adhesive, colour-matched grout, and specialist sealers to ensure your investment is installed correctly and lasts a lifetime.
