The Botticino Marble Pencil Liner Trim is a slender natural marble finishing piece measuring 305 × 20 × 1.5mm. Its narrow pencil profile is designed to create a neat edge, border or transition within a tiled surface, helping a wall layout feel complete without introducing the stronger projection of a larger dado moulding or skirting.
This honed trim works particularly well around splashbacks, tiled niches, decorative mosaic panels and half-height bathroom walls. It can also be used as a slim horizontal dividing line between different tile formats or materials. The softly rounded profile adds definition while retaining the warm, restrained character of Botticino marble.
For the most coordinated result, pair the trim with Starel Stones’ Botticino Marble Tile Collection, which uses the same warm beige material palette and honed finish. The Botticino Marble Dado Moulding can be introduced elsewhere in the same scheme where a broader, more pronounced decorative profile is needed. Starel’s existing product information also recommends combining this trim with White Emperador or Belgravia marble; these lighter stones can create a gentle tonal contrast across tiles, metro formats and mosaics. Exact pieces should be reviewed together before ordering because natural marble varies in colour, veining and tone.
Choose this exact product when the project needs a discreet marble detail rather than a dominant border. Its slim format makes it suitable for carefully framing smaller areas or completing transitions without visually interrupting the main tile design. The honed surface gives the stone a soft, low-sheen appearance that sits comfortably within both traditional and contemporary interiors.
As Botticino is a natural marble, variation between pieces is expected and should form part of the finished installation’s character. Dry laying the trim with the selected tiles before fixing will help distribute tonal differences thoughtfully. Sealing is required, and ongoing cleaning should be carried out with suitable pH-neutral, stone-safe products. The Botticino tile collection is listed for interior walls and floors, including bathrooms and kitchens, but suitability and installation requirements should always be confirmed for the complete surface specification
Yes! All our marble tiles and mosaics are suitable with underfloor heating.
Yes, we highly recommend dry laying your marble tiles before fixing them in place. Marble is a natural stone, and each tile is unique in its veining, tone, and pattern. Unlike man-made tiles, marble pieces are not identical, which is part of their beauty.
Dry laying means arranging all the tiles on the floor before applying adhesive, so you can:
Skipping this step can lead to an uneven appearance, as tiles placed at random may clash in tone or pattern. Taking the time to dry lay ensures a more harmonious and professional finish.
Yes. All natural stone products, including marble, limestone, and onyx, require sealing to maintain their appearance and durability.
We recommend sealing the tiles after installation, once the adhesive is fully dry. This protects the marble from grout staining. After grouting, allow the grout to cure, then clean the tiles thoroughly and apply a final coat of stone sealer to protect both the tile and grout.
To keep your surfaces in top condition, reseal every 1–3 years, depending on usage and wear.
