It offers the white ground and bold gray veining of Calacatta stone in a rectangular piece that can be laid horizontally to widen a room or vertically to make a shower feel taller. High (V3) shade variation means the veining changes noticeably from tile to tile, so a wall avoids the repeated look of identical prints. It is the go-to Universe format for bathrooms where floor and wall use the same tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bathroom floors, shower walls, tub surrounds, kitchen floors, powder rooms and laundry rooms (interior).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalacatta 00120:\u003c\/strong\u003e a bright white ground crossed by bold gray veins in the classic Calacatta manner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Universe 12x24\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalacatta marble look without the etching and sealing natural marble requires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal 12\" x 24\" rectangle suits both floor and wall layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet DCOF at or above 0.42 on a smooth glazed face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlaze hardness of 8 (Mohs) and break strength of at least 250 lbf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh (V3) variation gives a natural spread of veining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach carton covers 19.38 sq ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Install\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniverse 12x24 carries a floor rating from Shaw, so it works on interior floors and walls alike: bathroom floors, shower and tub walls, kitchens, laundry rooms and hallways. It is not frost rated and should not be used outdoors or in unheated spaces. Because of the high variation, lay out tiles from several boxes before setting them to balance heavy and light veining across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Shaw Universe 12x24 real marble?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Shaw Universe 12x24 is glazed ceramic with a printed Calacatta marble visual, so it does not etch from acidic spills or need the sealing that real marble does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Universe 12x24 be used on a bathroom floor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
