Overview

About this product

MSI Arabescato Carrara 2" Octagon Tile brings authentic natural natural stone to mosaic format: quarried, hand-sorted, mesh-set for clean installation across feature wall, shower, and accent backsplash work. Pairs cleanly with warm-toned brass fixtures, polished hardware, and the kind of restrained grout that lets the tile do the design work. Light moves across the field differently across the day, softer at morning hours, sharper at task hours, quiet at evening. Across hospitality, residential, and design-led commercial installs alike, the format earns its specification by what it doesn't do, competing with the surrounding palette, demanding maintenance, or showing wear before its time.

What this surface does best is the second look, the kind of detail a guest notices after they've already taken in the room. The mesh-set format means it goes in clean and stays clean across years.

Questions

Stone FAQ

Will Arabescato Carrara 2" Octagon Tile work for my project?

Arabescato Carrara 2" Octagon Tile is natural stone from MSI. The full specs are listed in the Specifications above. If you would like a specialist to confirm it suits your room, subfloor, or use case before you order, reach out and we will review the details with you.

Does this stone need sealing or special care?

Natural granite, marble, and quartzite benefit from periodic sealing to resist stains, while engineered quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing. Soapstone is maintenance-light and deepens in tone over time with a little mineral oil.

What is the difference between a slab and a prefab countertop?

A prefab countertop comes pre-cut to standard, ready-to-install sizes, now offered in 2cm, while a full slab is fabricated and cut to your own template for islands and custom runs. Our team helps you choose the right path for your project.

How heat, scratch, and stain resistant is it?

Granite and quartzite take heat very well, while quartz resists scratches and stains but still likes a trivet under hot pans. Marble is softer and can etch from acids, so it suits considered, lower-traffic use.

Do you help with fabrication and edges?

Yes, we offer edge profiles and fabrication through our team. A specialist confirms your dimensions and layout before anything is cut, so the finished top fits the first time.

Common Questions

Ordering & Support

Is this suitable for my application?+

Each product lists its wear layer, finish, and use ratings in the Specifications above, so you can match it to residential, commercial, or wet-area use. If you are not sure it fits your project, our specialists will review the details and confirm the right product before you order.

What is the lead time?+

Most in-stock orders are processed within 1-3 business days, then ship by ground or LTL freight depending on size and weight. Transit time varies by destination, and any made-to-order item shows its expected production window at checkout.

Do you price-match the trade?+

Yes. Builders, designers, and developers unlock trade pricing through our Developer Program. Apply once and your account receives member pricing across categories, plus dedicated support for large-volume orders.

How do I make sure the color matches?+

Screens and lighting vary, so our specialists will confirm the exact color, finish, and texture details with you before you commit. For larger orders we pull from the same dye lot where possible, and a small overage helps keep everything consistent.

What if my freight arrives damaged?+

Inspect your shipment on arrival. If anything is damaged, photograph it before unloading, note it with the LTL driver on the delivery receipt, and report it to us the same day, so we can file the carrier claim and ship free replacements.
