Pleasant to the eye and to the touch, Crema Marfil marble tile displays a cream color that harmonizes with a variety of different tones for a warm and welcoming effect! Thanks to its soft veining in the tones of white, cinnamon, and warm beige, its warm color makes the stone quite adaptable for a variety of interior and exterior projects. Known as one of the most popular ornamental and decorative stones in history, Crema Marfil is an elegant choice not only to create rooms with an old-world feel but also to enhance classic, modern and contemporary spaces alike.
Homeowners gravitate towards Crema Marfil subway tiles for wall décors in an effort to create a monumental air in the space! This tile brings more than just a touch of natural stone for your feature wall designs. It brings a sophisticated warmth even to the most minimalist of kitchen spaces, and it can look perfect with other whites, creams, and gray cabinetry in modern settings.
Need some change from that traditional dark look in your kitchen? Updating the kitchen with a Crema Marfil backsplash is the easiest way to modernize an outdated space without having to replace your cabinetry. Not only it modernizes a traditional kitchen décor but it also lends an airy, bright feel as a contrast to your traditional wood furnishings. This quality makes this classic subway tile a preferred choice for sleek and contemporary kitchens too! Its cream color is a neutral shade that combines very well with a variety of shades of higher intensity, so feel free to pair this tile with bright reds, greens and different patterns!
Is your laundry room or mudroom due for a décor update? Create interest in the laundry area with a chevron layout and create a timeless elegance even to the simplest laundry room design!
There’s nothing better than a natural stone as noble as marble to beautify a bathroom! We love the way contemporary bathrooms pair this stone with dark accents including iron, matte black fixtures, or wood flooring. Crema Marfil honed tile as the flooring, backsplash, or shower tile can cleverly offset with grey and brown hues in more dramatic settings. It also adds an extra layer of depth and weight thanks to its sculptural look when installed from floor to ceiling.
You can choose to get a “wow” effect with your Crema Marfil marble by making statement uses of the stone such as a floor-to-ceiling accent wall or can keep your marble design quiet by using it in small doses such as for shower niches, tub areas or fireplace surrounds.
There’s no rule book that says each subway tile must be laid in a horizontally stacked pattern. In fact, a mixed-up arrangement is far more interesting to look at! Enhance your classic kitchen subway layout with a creative Crema Marfil herringbone pattern behind your stove!
*Natural stone tiles may display variations in color, finish, strength, and slip resistance. White marble may contain naturally occurring iron deposits that can lead to discoloration if used in areas prone to wet or damp, or if exposed to harsh chemical cleaners. As this is an inherent feature of the material, Tile Club does not assume responsibility for the discoloration of marble or other natural stone tiles. To ensure you enjoy your white marble tiles for years to come, we recommend installing them in areas that are not prone to standing water and regularly sealing your tile and grout.

Tile Club’s Crema Marfil Collection features decorative mosaic-format designs made primarily with polished and honed Crema Marfil marble. Select designs may include colorful accent stones that add warmth, variation, and detail to the finished installation.
Because Crema Marfil is made with natural stone, variation should be expected from piece to piece. Color shifts, veining, size differences, surface markings, blemishes, and chipped edges may be present. No two pieces are exactly identical, which adds to the natural character of the material.
When properly installed and maintained, Crema Marfil marble mosaic tile may be suitable for approved walls, floors, backsplashes, showers, steam showers, and traffic-rated applications.
Before beginning your project, please review the following recommendations and confirm the most current specifications, approved applications, and installation guidance.
1. Pre-Installation Inspection
Inspect Before Installation
Inspect all tile before installation. Installing the material confirms acceptance of the product’s appearance, color variation, veining, texture, sizing, finish, edge condition, and overall quality.
Please contact Tile Club with any questions about product acceptability, visual variation, or suitability before installation begins.
Dry Layout Recommended
Lay out the mosaic sheets before installation to review marble variation, veining, color movement, accent stone placement, sheet alignment, and overall finished appearance.
This step is especially important for marble mosaics because natural stone variation affects the final look of the installation.
Installation Responsibility
Tile Club is not responsible for improper installation, installation workmanship, or issues that occur after the material has been installed.
Final responsibility for proper installation rests with the installer and end user.
2. Recommended Applications
Crema Marfil marble mosaic tile may be suitable for the following applications when confirmed for the specific product:
Interior walls
Exterior walls
Interior floors
Exterior floors
Kitchen backsplashes
Bathroom backsplashes
Shower walls
Shower floors
Steam showers
Light foot traffic areas
Medium foot traffic areas
Heavy foot traffic areas
Important Usage Notes
Marble materials are not recommended for swimming pools or areas submerged in water.
Suitability for high-traffic residential and commercial floors depends on the specific requirements of the space, footwear exposure, and the presence of water or other potential surface hazards. Consult a flooring specialist or qualified professional when evaluating marble mosaic tile for high-traffic floor applications.
Always refer to the applicable Tile Club product page and Product Specifications section to determine suitability for your desired installation. Some products may not be suitable for every application listed above.
For areas exposed to extreme temperatures, including fireplace hearths or areas behind cooktops, confirm suitability before installation.
For additional product or installation guidance, contact Tile Club Support at support@tileclub.com or 1-833-TILE-CLB (845-3252).
3. Installation Recommendations
Tile Club strongly recommends using a licensed tile professional familiar with current NTCA, ASTM, M.I.A., and ANSI installation standards.
Because Crema Marfil is a natural stone mosaic collection, proper installation methods are essential. For specific questions or accepted industry standards, refer to the Natural Stone Institute.
Pre-Sealing Recommendations
Natural stone may vary in absorption.
Pre-sealing Crema Marfil marble tile before installation is recommended to help prevent setting materials and grout from staining the stone surface.
Use a penetrating-type sealer designed to leave the material looking natural. Suggested sealer brands include, but are not limited to:
Dupont™ Stonetech® Professional Sealer
Aqua Mix
Always follow the sealer manufacturer’s instructions. Test the sealer in a small area before applying it to the full installation to confirm suitability and appearance.
Surface Preparation
Install stone tile over a clean, sound, flat concrete or mortar substrate.
The installation surface must be free of contaminants or any condition that could compromise the bond of the tile.
Always lay out the material before installation to confirm that the appearance meets the desired result.
Cutting Recommendations
Use a high-quality, well-maintained wet saw with a diamond blade designed for cutting stone materials.
A poorly maintained tile saw or improper blade may cause chipping during cutting. Cut slowly and carefully to help protect the marble edges, accent stones, and surface finish.
Grouting Considerations
Grout joints should be fully packed and free of voids and pits.
Clean excess grout from the surface while the grout is still fresh and before it hardens.
Before grouting the full installation, test in a small area to confirm that the selected grout color is suitable and that the stone surface does not scratch during grouting.
4. Recommended Setting Materials
Use setting materials appropriate for natural stone mosaic tile and the specific installation area.
Recommended Mortars
LATICRETE® Glass Tile Adhesive Mortar
LATICRETE® 220 Marble & Granite Mortar
Or equivalent setting materials suitable for natural stone mosaic tile
Recommended Grout
LATICRETE® PERMACOLOR® Grout
Or equivalent high-performance grout suitable for natural stone tile
Always follow the setting material manufacturer’s instructions, coverage rates, cure times, and substrate requirements.
5. Care & Maintenance
Natural stone requires proper care to preserve its lasting beauty, surface finish, and color movement.
Routine Cleaning
Clean the mosaic surface with:
Mild pH-neutral detergent cleaner
Damp sponge
Soft rag or cloth
Use gentle cleaning methods to help protect the marble surface, accent stones, and grout.
Avoid Harsh Products
Do not use:
Acidic cleaners
Alkaline cleaners
Solvent-based cleaners
Abrasive cleaning products
Wax treatments
Bleach or cleaning solutions left sitting on the surface
These products may damage or discolor the stone and grout.
Prompt Stain Removal
Do not allow stains, soap residue, or cleaning solutions to remain on the mosaic surface for extended periods.
Clean spills and residue promptly to help maintain the tile’s appearance.
Test Cleaners First
Always test any cleaning product in a small, inconspicuous area before using it across the full installation.
Acceptable cleaners for natural stone surfaces may be available through Tile Club or other tile dealers.
