Tiling Patterns
Tiling patterns aren’t just functional—they’re a design language that reveals the soul of the stone. Whether book-matched, diamond-cut, or free-length, the right layout brings out veining, texture, and movement in ways a raw slab never could.
Roman tile patterns, also known as French or Versailles patterns:
involve arranging tiles of varying square and rectangular sizes in an interlocking, seemingly random, but harmonious pattern. This style is characterized by its classic, timeless aesthetic, often used for flooring and cladding in both interior and exterior space
Random Length / Free length
All tiles supplied will be of the same width
but various different lengths.
These should be laid in rows of the same
width. The pattern created by the differing
lengths will vary between each stone.
Square cut
A basic and versatile pattern, often used in a grid-like layout.
Herringbone
A popular pattern using rectangular tiles laid at a 45-degree angle, creating a zigzag effect.
Diamond
Achieved by laying square tiles at a 45-degree angle, often used in a checkerboard design.
Vein Match
a technique in natural stone design that aligns the natural veining of different marble slabs to create a seamless, continuous, and visually flowing pattern across a surface.
Book Match
the technique of placing two or more slabs of natural stone side-by-side to create a mirror image of the pattern, veining, or grain, resulting in a continuous, symmetrical design that resembles an opened book
