Box Content:
Nero Marquina / Bianco Dolomite Checkerboard Tile is the iconic black-and-white stone grid—sharp, tailored, and instantly architectural. Nero Marquina brings deep black tone with natural veining, while Bianco Dolomite keeps the pattern bright and structured. It’s a confident choice for entryways, kitchens, and baths that want a classic checkerboard statement with real stone depth.
Where it works best
- Floors: entryways, kitchens, powder rooms, hallways, boutique commercial spaces
- Walls: backsplashes and feature walls, fireplace surrounds (wall application)
- Design detail: use a checkerboard mosaic format in wet areas (shower floors, transitions) when you need slope and drainage
Choosing a size
- 4" x 4" — tighter grid with more texture; great for smaller rooms and detailed layouts
- 6" x 6" — the classic scale for kitchens, entries, and bathrooms
- 12" x 12" — calmer, more expansive look for larger floors and open plans
Design notes
- Grout changes the look: match for a cleaner, more seamless field, or use a soft contrast to sharpen the squares.
- Layout tip: center the pattern on key sightlines (entry door, vanity center, island run) for the cleanest finish.
- Natural variation: marble varies by piece—expect veining, shade shifts, and character, especially in Nero Marquina.
Natural stone care
- Sealing: natural stone typically benefits from sealing. Your installer can recommend the right sealer for your application.
- Cleaning: use a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid acidic or abrasive products.
- Sample first: stone can read differently in your lighting—samples help confirm contrast and veining.
