Flexible Marble Panel
White marble with grey-green veining, drawn at the scale of a real block. The veins are the pattern, and the sheet is 4 mm, which means a bathroom can have a marble wall without a structural fix.
Technical data sheet, MBDLS (PDF, 0.7 MB)·Colour card, 106 surfaces in four series (PDF, 10.4 MB)
The stone is a Calacatta-type white with two vein families: a bold grey-green set that runs diagonally and a fine secondary cloud that fills the field between. It is a print of a real slab rather than a moulded texture, and it is the only printed surface in the range — which is also why it is the cheapest way to get a book-matched look.
Four millimetres, 6 kg, 1200 × 2800. The veins do not repeat within a sheet, so a single wall reads as one block; two sheets side by side will show a repeat at the joint, so order the run and set the joints where the veins already change direction. Specified as a marble wall panel for bathrooms and vanity walls, where a book-matched slab would double the budget.
Two vein families
A printed marble fails when it has one vein pattern at one scale. This one has the bold set and the fine cloud, and the fine cloud changes density across the sheet, which is what a real block does as it comes out of the ground.
Bathroom, then reception
The bathroom is the white marble on three walls with a mirror and no tile border, sealed at the cut edges. The reception is the same sheet floor to ceiling behind a desk, where the veins run vertically and the joint is set on a vein change.
Installed, marble
Good for
- Bathroom walls and vanity walls
- Reception and lift lobby walls
- Fireplace surrounds where a slab is too expensive
- Walls that need the look of a book-matched slab on a budget
Not for
- Floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks behind a hob
- Walls where two sheets will sit side by side and the repeat will show
A 300 radius
The bend shot is the 4 mm sheet at a 300 mm radius. The veins follow the curve, which is the one thing a real marble cannot do without a fabricator and a lot of money.
Bent by hand, no heat
White, and a grey
Two whites — one cool with grey veins, one warm with gold-brown veins — and a grey marble with a soft cloud. The warm one is the one to use with brass; the cool one with chrome.

Questions we get asked
Is the veining printed?
Yes. It is a high-resolution print of a real slab, sealed under the face. It is the only printed product in the range; everything else is moulded.
Will it peel?
No. The print is under a cured top layer, not a film on the surface.
Can I book-match two sheets?
Not exactly, because the print repeats. Order the sheets from one run and set the joint where the veins change direction and it reads as a match.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
Yes, on the walls, with the cut edges sealed. It is the most common use for it.
