⚠️ Installation & Care Tips

  • Weight & Support: This is a solid stone skirting (1.9cm thick). Ensure it is adhered fully to the wall using a suitable high-grab adhesive to prevent slipping during cure.
  • Sealing is Critical: Black marble can show "etching" (dull spots) from acids. It must be sealed before and after grouting with a high-quality impregnator to maintain its deep colour and finish.
  • Mitred Corners: For external corners, the stone should be mitre-cut at 45 degrees. A quality wet cutter is essential to prevent chipping the black edges.
  • Cleaning: Never use acidic cleaners (bleach, vinegar, lemon) on black marble. Use only pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for natural stone.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose black marble skirting?

Black marble skirting creates a sophisticated, high-contrast look that frames a room beautifully. It is also incredibly practical, as it hides scuff marks and dirt splashes far better than white marble or painted wood.

Is this real stone?

Yes, this is genuine natural black marble. It matches the East Hampton Black floor and wall tiles perfectly, featuring the same authentic veining. It is a solid piece of stone, not a ceramic imitation.

Does it need sealing?

Yes. Natural marble is porous. Black marble is particularly prone to "etching" from acidic liquids. Sealing is mandatory to protect the finish and maintain the deep black colour.

Why buy from Hyperion Tiles?

We are a family-run business with years of experience in natural stone. We can guide you through the specific installation requirements—such as choosing the right white adhesive and grout—to ensure your marble installation remains beautiful for decades.
