I love the bathroom floor tiles. It is a great look many Boutique retailers offers a similar product I think theirs is called Silver Cloud. To our knowledge this particular vein cut marble limestone has over 50 different names in the USA.
Another classic example of this confusing industry. We have seen Arabesque versions of this for sale at $86.00 a square foot!!! That is pricey.
It is an old and unhelpful supply chain that is creates these high costs. Traditionally (and this has been going on for decades) the process is 4-5 steps along that way or the journey to the USA. Everyone is adding 100% markup and there you have it, by the time it reaches that beautiful and expensive retailer (another cost issue). A product that should be sold and add value to American homeowners and their properties, ends up wasted or just lost in a supply chain that does not need to be this long.
IT IS NOT the retailers fault as he just ends up with a cost. It is all those hands in the pot. All those extra steps in an old fashioned supply chain.
To us this is not right, especially if we can improve the supply chain and remove the middlemen from a very wasteful system.
Our version of a 6x24" is $7.45/sf. Call it what you will, white oak, silver cloud, silver limestone it is all vein cut natural stone, it is the vein cut process that creates the incredible wood look effect. We have taken the supply chain down to 2 steps from us to you that is how we can offer lower prices.
Our goal is to provide consumers a choice. You can:
Pay significantly more and waste it in a inefficient supply chain, or....
Pay less and you add value to your own home
For example a 2" Hexagon in this similar material is $11.75/sf and a 1x3" Herringbone is $12.95/sf you would pay $30 to $50 a square foot in a Boutique Tile and Stone retailer.
It would be nice for consumers to add value back into their homes. Instead of just throwing money away on supply chain inefficiencies. So from us Happy saving!!
We call ours White Oak Collection as the marble when it is cut along the vein has a white oak or wood look appearance. This quarry was going to launch in 2007, but that was put on hold due to the 2008 collapse. But went full steam ahead from 2012 onwards. It is an incredible product and the maintenance factor is wonderful as the product and veining seem to hide watermarks, making this a very popular stone in premium hotels and resorts worldwide. So if you are looking for a similar 5 start bathroom retreat, we have a collection that offers value and selection.
