A seamless stone texture with white marble arranged in a herringbone pattern. The image represents a physical area of 1144 x 931 mm (45 x 36.7 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 400 x 50 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 5 mm (0.2 inches) in width.
White marble is a popular stone product used within architecture and construction for both internal and external finishes. While marble is finished in a variety of colours, white marble is considered as the most natural form, due to its lack of mineral impurities. In contemporary buildings, marble is rarely a dominant material due to its relatively high cost, but is often used in columns, flooring, countertops, wall cladding, staircases, and sculptures.
This texture is an example of a herringbone pattern. Named for its resemblance to the skeleton of the herring fish, this pattern is formed with a series of interlocking rectangles positioned perpendicular to each other. Its use in the built environment dates back to at least Roman times and remains popular in contemporary architecture for a range of applications including tiled surfaces and parquet flooring.
This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
