Understanding Natural Stone Variation
At EmperadorTile.com, we pride ourselves on offering the beauty and elegance of genuine natural stone, including our exquisite marble tiles. It's important for our customers to understand the inherent characteristics of natural stone, which contribute to its unique appeal but also mean it differs from man-made materials.
Marble is a product of nature, formed over millions of years. As a result, no two pieces are exactly alike. Natural variations in color, veining, pattern, shade, hue, and even texture and size are expected and considered part of the stone's natural beauty, not a defect.
- Color and Veining: The colors and patterns you see in marble are created by minerals present during its formation. These will vary significantly from piece to piece and from quarry batch to quarry batch.
- Appearance of Samples and Website Images: Samples and photos displayed on our website are intended to be representative of the stone's general appearance. However, the actual tiles you receive may have variations in color, veining, and pattern compared to what you saw on your screen or in a small sample. Screen settings can also affect how colors are displayed.
- Recommended Action: We highly recommend that you order samples before making a large purchase to get a better sense of the stone's typical characteristics.
- Installation Considerations: When installing natural stone, it is standard practice to blend tiles from different boxes during the installation process to ensure an aesthetically pleasing distribution of variations.
- Variation is Not a Defect: Please note that variation is a natural characteristic and not considered a product defect. Returns or exchanges based solely on natural variation are typically not accepted. Please review our Return Policy for details. (Burada Return Policy sayfasına link verilmelidir.)
