Stone Crush — Checkerboard Tile Collection

← Back to COLOR CRUSH — Checkerboard Collection

Stone Crush is ArtePierre’s natural stone checkerboard tile collection, created for projects that want rhythm, contrast, and real material depth. Compared to printed surfaces, natural stone adds subtle variation in tone, veining, and movement, which makes the checkerboard pattern feel richer and more architectural.

Part of the COLOR CRUSH Checkerboard Collection, Stone Crush is designed for floors, feature walls, fireplace surrounds, entryways, kitchens, powder rooms, bathrooms, and boutique commercial spaces where the product and finish are suitable.

Use Stone Crush when you want a checkerboard pattern that feels timeless instead of trend-only. Classic high contrast reads bold and iconic, while tonal stone pairings feel softer, warmer, and more design-led.

Where Stone Crush works best

Floors

  • Entryways and foyers
  • Kitchens and breakfast nooks
  • Bathrooms and powder rooms, where suitable
  • Hallways and transition spaces
  • Boutique retail, hospitality, and design-led commercial interiors where suitable

Walls & feature areas

  • Feature walls and decorative panels
  • Backsplashes and bar walls, where suitable
  • Fireplace surrounds and wall applications*
  • Powder room statement moments
  • Classic black-and-white or tonal checkerboard installations

*Install per appropriate industry standards for the application, including TCNA methods where applicable. Always confirm product suitability before using natural stone in wet areas, floors, fireplaces, exterior spaces, or commercial installations.

Design notes for Stone Crush checkerboard tile

  • Classic contrast: black-and-white checkerboard reads iconic, graphic, and timeless.
  • Tonal blends: softer stone pairings feel quieter, warmer, and more architectural.
  • Natural variation: expect movement, veining, tone shifts, and stone character from piece to piece.
  • Grout changes the look: matching grout softens the field, while gentle contrast sharpens the checkerboard grid.
  • Layout planning matters: center the pattern on key sightlines such as an entry door, vanity centerline, hallway run, fireplace wall, or kitchen island.
  • Dry lay before installation: review the pattern, color balance, and stone movement before setting tile.
