What are Cultured Marble and Tyvarian Marble?
Traditionally, cultured marble is a blend of crushed stone aggregate and resins mixed and spread onto large glass tables. The mixture then cures to a solid slab permanently sealed with a gel coat. This product gives the luxury of an incredibly low-maintenance bathroom application by creating a long-lasting, durable, and stylistic product. Traditional cultured marble has a base color mixed throughout the slab with a partnering swirl color. This effect gives you that unique cultured marble swirl. Tyvarian marble, on the other hand, is composed of similar raw materials, but the color and pattern require a different process.
Tyvaian color sets have about 300 colors/patterns driven by a unique ink set bonded into the slab. These colors can emulate hundreds of natural stone patterns and designs, from an actual grout-less hexagon tile shower floor to a beautiful marble slab wall and everything in between. The options are truly endless. Cultured and Tyvarian marble are man-made products similar to Quartz, Porcelain, and Solid surface products such as Corian and HiMacs. Cultured and Tyvarian marble is a versatile product that provides an easy cleaning process that lasts a lifetime and provides a wide variety of colors and patterns for all aesthetics and design preferences.

Note: I am sure you’re asking, Why can I use this on my kitchen splashes but not my counters? Great question!
Although Cultured and Tyvarian marble is highly durable and stain resistant, a kitchen application of high traffic, heat, and wear and tear does not suit the design of these products. The use of knives, hot pots, pans, and the excitement of your kids or grandkids banging their spoons in anticipation of fresh bread and that delicious fall soup you made could ultimately lead to scratches and chips that make the product look worn over time.
Fortunately, vertical surfaces like backsplashes don’t see that type of use (most of us don’t shower with knives and hot pots and pans), so cast marble products thrive as kitchen backsplashes or in bathroom applications.
