The perfect vein cut tile starts with how the block of stone is cut. Our stone masters position it to cut along the grain, which will show the layers of sediments and the horizontal veining. The delicate beige background is crossed by darker shades in a parallel pattern.
Castelli puts a Resin backing on some of their stones to reinforce/strengthen it during processing, shipping, and install.
This Resin backing requires the use of an Epoxy Thinset or Epoxy Additive during installation
Common stones that will have this are Nero St. Gabriel, Rosewood, Calacatta, Statuary, etc.
