Product Information
Full details
This Arctic White Marble Veneer Sheet from B&Q is designed for DIY enthusiasts and interior designers seeking a high-end, contemporary finish for internal feature walls and furniture cladding. Its key benefit is the authentic natural marble appearance combined with a lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-install format due to its fiberglass and resin backing. A key consideration is that the material cannot be polished to a smooth gloss finish, maintaining its textured top surface.

FAQs
Can this marble veneer be used in a bathroom?
While suitable for feature walls, it is not recommended for direct shower areas or environments with constant high moisture due to the natural stone composition. Ensure good ventilation if used in a bathroom.
What is the thickness of the veneer sheet?
The thickness ranges between 2mm and 4mm.
How much does a square meter weigh?
The weight is approximately 1.5 to 2.0 KG per square meter.
Can I achieve a high gloss finish?
No, this material has a textured top surface finish and cannot be polished to a smooth gloss finish.
What adhesive should I use?
Consult the product's installation guide or a local B&Q store for recommendations on specific adhesives suitable for marble veneer and your substrate.
Is the veining pattern consistent across all sheets?
No, due to the natural marble face, each sheet will have unique veining patterns and color variations.
Can I use this on a curved surface?
Yes, the fiberglass and resin backing provides flexibility, allowing it to be applied to gently curved surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Sheet does not adhere properly
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, free of dust and grease). Use the correct type and amount of adhesive, and apply firm, even pressure during installation.
Edges appear chipped or uneven after cutting
Use a sharp, appropriate cutting tool designed for stone or composite materials. Practice on a scrap piece first to master the cutting technique.
Veining pattern is not as expected
This is inherent to natural stone. Order extra material to select the best-fitting pieces, or embrace the unique pattern as a feature of natural material.
Surface is difficult to clean
Avoid letting spills sit for extended periods. Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners as recommended. Ensure the surface was sealed correctly if a sealant was advised during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This product is suitable for all *internal feature wall applications* and *furniture cladding*. It is not recommended for flooring, wet areas, or external use.
